Description

Queer before its time<div> Published almost 100 years ago, Virginia Woolf's eponymous novel tells the wild epic of a young aristocrat through centuries and genres.</div><div><br></div><div> First a man, then a woman upon awakening from a long sleep, Orlando remains unchanged in his personality. What shifts is the historical context, the perspective on them, and the social constraints. Katia Ferreira seizes upon this avant-garde narrative material and shifts the present from the writing to the performance, extending the contemporary resonances of this audacious fresco that depicts an eminently modern fluidity of identity.</div><div><br></div><div> Between theatre, music and direct cinema, changes of costumes and focal lengths, she orchestrates a succession of eras and landscapes around this romantic and dreamy soul, a being of metamorphoses and a metaphor for free will.</div>
