Welcome to the Court of Elizabeth I!<div> As part of the IcoSonic Festival</div><div> Welcome to the Court of Elizabeth I! Orlando, a young nobleman destined for greatness, grows up at the court of Elizabeth I and dreams of becoming a poet. One day, his life is turned upside down: upon waking, he is a woman. Thus begins a thrilling journey through the centuries, a voyage of multiple identities and desires for this immortal character. Katia Ferreira adapts Virginia Woolf's cult novel for the stage. Thanks to an ingenious live video setup, set to a baroque and electronic soundtrack, she immerses the audience in the heart of the intrigues, the performers, and their time travels: from Elizabethan drama to comedy of manners, from biographical investigation to self-expression. This story challenges conventions, questions free will, and explores emancipation. An unexpected encounter that inspires and liberates, opening IcoSonic.</div><div><br></div>
