| Description | La Chambre d’Amour reinterprets a medieval legend from the French Basque countryside through different perspectives of time.
Ella and Louis have no other choice than to hide their love from view. They discover the ideal place for their rendez-vous - an open chamber in the heart of a rock, only accessible at low tide. Nevertheless one day, convinced that their love will be stronger than Nature, they are caught by the rising sea and drown. |

| Further Information | In this multimedia piece combining live performance with projected imagery (slides, 16mm film, video), the actors play above the ever encroaching void, crossing series of settings enhancing the sensation of vertigo (doors opening into nothing, swings in heights, staircases, a giant water tank),The story traverses time and space in twelve chapters. | ||||||||||||||||
