Personne

a surrealistic screen dance

© Eva Baumann

Ceci est une personne.
Personne n'est ici.
(French personne (f): the person or also no one or anyone).




In this experimental dance film designed for the 9:16 format of smartphones, we take up the motif of the mirror in the age of selfie culture and draw a tragicomic story about the longing of the "simple" woman for a different, better life.
The fictional and quirky character "Personne" makes various attempts to adopt other identities, stumbling into surreal “unlocations” in an orbit of timelessness.
