    THERESE & THOMAS

    Abschlussarbeit | Degree Project

    Dossier Internationales

    “Therese & Thomas” is a video installation bridging performance and cinema. Four screens for 16 scenes and in the centre: the performer(s). A non-virtual 360° experience that will make us travel through time and across continents.

    Therese and Thomas are a contemporary Adam and Eve. Expelled from paradise, they search for happiness in each other. For this they have to face their inner contradictions and outer differences.

    Masculine & feminine, Europe & Africa, past & present are concepts that will grow between them as invisible borders; concepts that give them identity and at the same time imprison them.

    Using as a starting point a painting from the XIX (“The Raft of the Méduse” by Géricault, 1819), Therese & Thomas are characters out of the painting that have travelled through time and meet again, far away and also here, in the now, dissolving chronological and geographical borders.

    A mythological tale in which the end is the beginning.
