An imaginary place that is both non-existent and familiar, capable of evoking a haunting vision populated by ghosts and memories, where the boundaries between reality, dream, and desire blur.
redrum—the first chapter of the new multi-year project Overlook Hotel by the group nanou—is a choreographic installation for five dancers and one performer. It redefines the rules of theatrical ritual to transform the performance into a space to inhabit: the choreographic action has no boundaries between stage and audience, blending the real with the improbable, altering common perception, and inviting the viewer to explore a world where the lines between true and false dissolve, allowing an object to unfold before the eyes in a unique and perhaps, if we’re lucky, unrepeatable way. In redrum, everything happens, has always happened, and will happen again.
