Creation of a performance on the subject of dreams and fantasy stories.
Intensive workshop (35 hours) for students. Creation of a performance on the subject of dreams and fantasy stories.
Throughout the sessions, we explored such stuff as dreams are made on, using texts, music, poetry and improvisations.
Voices of the subconscious, distorted reflections of reality, horror stories and fantasy worlds were the matter from which we worked. Dreams or nightmares, and even more so the space between these and action itself was the Ariadne’s thread of a work. An extremely fertile ground, common to all, which lent itself very well to the polyphonic framework that we wove together.
"A woman is sitting alone in a house. She knows she is alone in the whole world: every other living thing is dead. The doorbell rings." - Thomas Bailey Aldrich
