This piece by swiss choreographer Julie Beauvais and french photographer Horace Lundd is based on Orlando, Virginia Woolf’s renowned novel about the 400 year life of an english aristocrat who, after a deep sleep, wakes up to find his body is now female. Beauvais and Lundd’s interpretation combines movement, video, photography, architecture and live music to reflect on a human society that should eliminate ‘stereotypes, judgement, and stigmatization’ for good. The work will be shown for free, with unlimited access from Saturday 25 to Wednesday 29 at 11 pm and 1 am in the Plaza Brasil, on Av. Figueroa Alcorta 2000, next to Facultad de Derecho.

Beauvais choreographs an extremely slow, expansive movement with 7 ‘Orlandos’ filmed in Berlin (Germany), Kinshasa (Republic of Congo), Marfa (Texas, USA), London (U.K), Varanasi (India), Belo Horizonte (Lisbon) and Chandolin (Switzerland) by Horace Lundd. The piece is thus displayed on seven giant screens, with the androginous characters projected on either side. At the crack of dawn, with a backdrop which is at times rural, urban, maritime or mountainous, each figure performs an extremely slow expansive movement, while at the same time, behind them, clouds, waves, birds or clouds continue their journeys in real time.
