Love is Strange [rough cut] – an electric garage dance theatre performance
Love is Strange [rough cut] is a resolutely interdisciplinary performance. A staged concert, a musical performance, a play without theatricality, a ribbon of dreamlike visions accompanied by danced monologues and visual dialogues.
Love is Strange [rough cut] explores the impossible and unreal nature of romantic relationships. Love is Strange [rough cut] asks questions about the strangeness of love, its hidden beauties and its far-flung extravagances.
Words in French, German, English and Dutch.
