DreaMe_by Henrik_Kaalund_with_Sylvania_Pen_trailer

  • 12 years ago
DreaMe is about the interaction between reality and wish-reality. Special attention is given the ideals of achievement and beauty, as they are dictated to us by the media. How do I deal with the rising pressure? And how large is the margin within which I can move, while still remaining true to myself?
On a projection surface on the back part of the stage, doubles of the performer appear, phantom-identities. The doubles represent the artificially created ideals, values and goals of the real woman on one hand and her subconscious needs on the other. Her problem is to differentiate between her real and artificial self.

This is a currently touring production. It is alternately performed by Sylvania Pen and Catherine Jodoin.
