Ke ba la ba!’ tells of an old woman’s wish to regain her memory and youthfulness. Trapped in an ageing and deteriorating body, she is further plagued with feelings of isolation due to the passing of her beloved husband. A second projection showing images of freedom, youth, joy and hope, taken from three black-and-white films from the 1970s, makes visible the unfulfilled longings of the old woman The title of the work, which comes from the words repeated by the old woman, means ‘It’s all right! Please come!’ in the Myanmar language.
