The Lonely Room
The Blue Elephant Theatre – Dates: 29 – 31 October
Time has stopped. They wait. And wait…and wait …and wait.
The Lonely Room is an enchanting mime duet by Eloise Carles and Flavia Bertram telling the story of two women trapped in the in-between of life. This story is inspired by our inner passive dreamers. We all know them: they articulate their desires, but take no real action towards fulfilling their imagined adventures. Through the language of corporeal mime and dance set to an atmospheric score by Michael Neo, the duo create a timeless world of fears, anxieties, dreams and – most importantly – hope.
The Lonely Room is presented as a work-in-progress.
Eloise Carles performed for four years with Emmanuel Oger’s company Le Jour Se Lève, before studying at the International School of Corporeal Mine and joining Le Theatre de L’Ange Fou for one season.
Flavia Bertram is trained in corporeal mime and has performed with Twisted Hip, OneTaste Cabaret and OneTaste Theatre’s Buster’s Silver Screen Daydreams. Most recently she has co-devised Tack-On Tours in association with the London Festival of Architecture and In TRANSIT Festival.
Michael Neo is a composer, lyricist, sound designer and recordist. His work includes Flatmates V Zombies (Camden Fringe 2013 top picks), Milk Teeth (International Physical Theatre Festival 2013) and recording stand-up comedian Yianni in binaural audio.
