The performance piece “Poemele corpului I” was the first time staged autobiographical story and was presented in Sibiu, on the 10th of September 2017 in the frame of 25 Hours of Non-Stop Theater Festival. The text is a three-part poem written by Alexandru in 2016. The concept behind the live presentation was inspired by a childhood event and the piece was performed by himself and the actor Adrian Matioc from the “Radu Stanca” National Theatre. The entire performance was presented in a large industrial hall in front of an audience of 50 people at 01:30 A.M.
“I wish I could remember every single moment I experienced. To open my eyes and project any moment from the past. I would build a castle dedicated to memory. A place where all the memories of those who failed to pass them on are well guarded. There would be so many memories, people would have been different. So I can only restore fragments from the past. I have this infinite and childish freedom, to give a meaning to moments that only I have lived through, and this way to bring my small contribution to this castle made of sand…” (Alexandru Buescu)
“In a child’s memory only one feature of situations, characters, events, places and moments in time is always preserved. …father arrives (to have his holiday), keeps swearing and packs up… …mother always leaves and disappears, then: longing… The whole memory of the life of a person is marked for me by a single word, a single feature.” (Tadeusz Kantor – A Child’s Memory, 13.III.1980)
