Pre-study Loretta's Room
In the studios of Dansateliers a pre-study will start before the actual realisation of Loretta's Room. An invitation to enter the fictive world of an old woman - a kaleidoscopic place where the boundaries between memory and alienation are very vulnerable. Inspired by the movement language of the classical silent movie, the collective MorphoDidius investigates the integration of old and new media. They use these together with the dance to bring the characters and creatures of Loretta's imagination to life.
