Wounds Written in the Flesh 
Project Creator and Director: Anna Zamarin Konovalenko
Cinematography: Michael Konovalenko 
Performers: Anna Zamarin Konovalenko, Anastasiia Tkach, Maxim Maksyuta 

A tender and evocative dance and spoken word performance exploring the complexities of how the body holds memory and trauma. Filmed in the streets and spaces of Tbilisi, Georgia, the piece brings together Anna Zamarin Konovalenko, Anastasiia Tkah, and Maxim Maksayuta as performers, with cinematography by Michael Konovalenko.

Opening with a quote from The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk—"The body keeps the score: the memory of trauma is encoded in the viscera, in heartbreaking and gut-wrenching sensations, in the body's sensory world, then we must focus on the body too."—the performance delves into the unspoken ways our bodies retain the echoes of past experiences. Through quiet yet powerful movements and spoken word, the artists create a poignant reflection on the vulnerability, pain, and healing embedded in our physical selves.

Part of UNHiNGED #5 "Flesh and Form" Released May 2025.
