Still Life With Man And Woman is an absurdist suspense thriller based on one existential question: what is going on? Based on a scene from Michelangelo Antonioni’s film ‘Blow Up’

A film set within a live performance with uninvited apparitions, imaginary friends and some real people: a man and a woman. One follows the other but they never manage to end up in the same space. Instead, the space develops a life of its own. They try to figure out what is going on but the rules are out of order. It is not even certain if the other is there at all. They try to work out a story but it constantly evades them: they can never tell if they are telling it or if they are being told.


A performance about love, ghosts and rain dancing.
