Thom Rever with Salon K
In 2015 Salon K Experience implemented a series of performances unveiling the struggles, confrontation and victories surrounding the topic of “Human identity”. In collaboration with Italian photographer Thom Rever and Choreographer Patrick King, Sarah Nevada expresses her own deeply rooted personal experiences regarding this subject.
Selected poetry written by Sarah Nevada Grether for Salon K regarding the project “Human Identity”:
Like dolphins, we swim
My Dear majesty
Heroic dreams
On the beach, we touch sun
In the water we -one
another with sound
Quote my words
My wishes, my mind
Afraid to drown
Afraid to find
My body
My freedom
Oh, Most, beautiful mermaid
I am held
I swim with eyes open
As my tears wash the fear
My eyes watch it near
Alongside Heroes
I can breathe
and believe
in our dreams
“I don’t believe in colors
I rather trust in feelings
Love is not a mystery for me
I don’t have to recognize it with a specific color
Cause love is what I’m made of
Sunrise, sundown, stars, a sense of freedom
Many people think I’m not “able” to understand them
But is not that
I can feel everything
Cause I’ve gained imagination
Imagination is not fantasy
Imagination is what you cannot see
Is what makes people the same
Is what can transform colors into feelings
Is not the content
Is to color
The only things I cannot see, is what I don’t wanna see
injustice
abuse
sufferance
racism”
