intro 01:14
2.
There comes a time when all things must die I would like to live again the first time I enjoyed dancing I would like to touch this carpet again and hear the voice of my mother I ask myself for forgiveness For the things I have done to myself in the past I can never forget But maybe I can forgive. Let me float
3.
I’m standing in front of a mirror What if I forget everything It would be like hiding and forever not being found The earth opens and we fall We fall and fly at the same time Time doesn’t exist anymore We become so slow That every detail reveals itself

We see the world from far And the higher we get My desire to want burns me out I always wanted to be a bird I keep on diving out of myself deeper Until I slide into the ground with my skull

My breasts look different today I’m standing in front of a mirror the moon is still far away its tiny feet touching my skin so softly I forgot where I was in your arms? with every slight breath through a tunneled eye the ants inside are full of flowers

The Ants inside are Full of Flowers is an immersive performance of dance and music which imagines life as a journey in circles.
