EFM Screening ‘Written on water’

Presented by Naxos Audiovisual Division

Happily married but haunted by an unresolved past love, choreographer Alicia (Aurélie Dupont) creates “Siren”, a dance piece about unfulfilled desire. Against the backdrop of an old theatre by the sea, Alicia builds a naked ensemble work held together by the threads connecting her dancers with each other and with her. She soon falls in love with the male lead dancer (Alexander Jones), as the siren of her fictional work becomes the siren of her life. When Alicia recounts this story to Karl (Pontus Lidberg), his story brings a new dimension to this exploration. “Written on Water” questions the permeable boundaries between fiction + reality.
