If Only Youth Could Return Some Day
‘If Only Youth Could Return Some Day’ is a sound piece that explores resilience, transmission, and memory through oral storytelling, song, and polyphonic voices. Rooted in Morocco’s oral traditions, the work emerges from speculative questions about the future and finds its answers by listening to the vibrant voices of a community gathered in a cultural centre in the heart of Marrakech. Weaving together the voices of different women, the piece reflects on the possibility of holding on to dreams in times of crisis and on the erasure of women’s voices from political spaces. Through oral expression, it positions sound as both a poetic and political act, where memory becomes a form of resistance.
