To The End Of Love

I participated To the End of Love, the Blue Beard myth retold by dresses, as a performer.  The show was created in two parts: first part The Dress Code -workshop in France, the second in Finland in fall 2011. The whole working group took part in creating visual material for the show.

To the End of Love

To the End of Love

 

The legendary tale inspired an international group of young artists from Finland, France, Russia, and Lithuania to create a visual-theatre production on the peculiarities of jealousy of the loved one’s past. Left alone in the castle, the young bride discovers that there may have been others before her. She enters the hidden space of her man’s secrets that leads her on to the dangerous path of self-exploration and… possibly… to the end of love.
