Documentation of performance artist Melanie Wilson's recent production.
Taking its cue from Chris Marker's 'La Jetee', Iris Brunette is set in a post-apocalyptic city, devastated by a war that has left its few survivors living below the surface of the city. In this underground world we meet Iris Brunette: part forensic detective, part compassionate voyeur. Iris journeys back into the past in an attempt to piece together the memories of a lost city and a delicate friendship, pulled apart by the outbreak of war.
Iris Brunette is an immersive experience in which the audience is complicit, surrounded on all sides by fragments of memory and a dense and brooding sound score. Melanie Wilson creates an intimate atmosphere of tender camaraderie in an evocative solo performance.
Zaterdag gezien. Aanrader! Vandaag nog te zien in het Veemtheater Amsterdam
