Écumes
A visual piece incorporating dance, video and puppetry. Inspired by the work of Boris Vian “L’écume des jours,” maintains an essence of surrealism and the themes of unconditional love, passion, desire, innocence, the passage of time, disease and death. Text from the novel informs the visual and sonic languages of the piece through which an audience gains insight into the character’s thoughts.
