A contemporary theatrical icon based on Orpheus and Euridyce.
The source material for this project is the 1950 black and white Hollywood Classic Movie ‘Sunset Boulevard’ by Billy Wilder. Images and Fragments of this legendary film icon will be re-processed into an iconographical and theatrical action- performance by Chantal Yzermans.
The set design is by Martine Schildge.
This collaborative of artists, directed by Belgian choreographer Chantal Yzermans willre-map a nocturnal ride into a 39 minute theatrical action-performance.
In this progressive nocturnal promenade TIME takes them further and further away,
Each artist creates a world of illusion brought to live in a contemporary set of allegory of night. Going from image to thought, from perception to conception.
