Vers la flamme

"Towards the flame" is a videodance around the conflicting passion and exhaustion of an elderly couple.
Based on the atmosphere and the movement’s quality of the stage piece (Lui & Artemis, by Jasmine Morand), the film was shot in situ, to reinforce the human condition of an elderly couple living side by side in everyday surroundings. The cinematography enhances the effects of memory and stagnation, utilizing washed-out colors and a pale halo to evoke a sense of nostalgia and melancholy.
