PORTMANTEAU

Creation 2018 • On tour

A Portmanteau is a linguistic blend of words, in which parts of multiple words and their meanings are combined into a new word.

Through a series of meetings and combinations, the interdisciplinary performance PORTMANTEAU brings together on stage a dancer / tight wire artist, a juggler / visual artist, a musician, a light designer and old overhead projectors.

Supported by handmade visuals projected on the space and on moving bodies, accompanied by the warm sounds of a double bass, the performance explores themes of connection and interaction.

The playful nostalgia and immediate interaction between the overhead projectors and the performers, combined with a fresh approach to their technical skills, create a pure, honest and dynamic visual environment.

Inviting the audience to observe, feel and experience, Portmanteau aims to evoke emotions in a poetic, nonlinear fashion.

“You see it’s like a portmanteau – there are two meanings packed up into one word.”
~ Lewis Carrol – Through the Looking Glass
