The Lover<\/em> is a poetic performance about the complex coexistence of human with his surrounding nature. A lonely creature wanders around in a devoured and abandoned land. A survivor instinct and curiosity for the transformed environment drives its vulnerable body. The Lover<\/em> is a reflection on our western civilisation, where an ostensible self-governing and artificial economy defines our living standards and in which the gap between human and nature increases. The moving body of B\u00e1ra Sigf\u00fasd\u00f3ttir interacts with the photography and installation of No\u00e9mie Goudal. The unique choreographic language of Sigf\u00fasd\u00f3ttir meets the work of Goudal mixing illusion, scenography and photography thus obtaining surreal and poetic landscapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigf\u00fasd\u00f3ttir\u2019s affinity towards nature goes back to her youth in Iceland where she was in contact with a basic living standard. Therefore she is very concerned by the export of natural sources and the relatively unknown consequences of commercial exploitation benefiting short-term economical purposes. The Lover portrays a character, thrown back at an instinctive mode, in surroundings where nature is completely consumed by mankind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
