Loretta's Room

Loretta's Room is the story about the fictive world of an old lady, a kaleidoscopic place where the boarders between memory and dream are very vulnerable. The performers are the characters and creatures that come to life through Loretta's imagination. A dance performance for stage in the atmosphere of a classic silent movie, for three dancers, music and film.

In how far does the memory remains authentic as time passes by? And in how far does dream acts upon the memory?

Elements such as time, chance, past and character will be enlarged in Loretta's Room and reveal the surrealistic world that plays inside Loretta's mind, in which the performers live. A world where memory, reality, dream and fantasy interweave with each other.
