What I Remember
What I Remember
by Genevieve Swanson
What I Remember is a 30-minute play about queer love, inspired by musical artist Samia’s debut album, The Baby. Using projection, altered time, abstraction from reality, and multiple perspectives, this story follows the unity and separation of two individuals, Sam and Em, finding their way in and out of love. Using themes from the album’s lyrics, this play creates a mosaic of a relationship that once was. Queer love, like memories, can be fragmented and nonlinear, with some parts more real or vivid than others. Emotions have a funny impact on memory, especially when there are two sides to every story.
