2020 | Luc Debuyser, Akelei Loos and Judith Schrijver

During an intense period of collective working at The Museum of Loss and Renewal we developed a solo dance performance about belief and consolation. The piece builds on Judith Schrijver’s investigation into the life and work of American artist Loïe Fuller (1862-1928), the highly original performer who pioneered modern dance and theatrical lighting. Loïe2 (working title) will in fact signal a farewell to Loïe Fuller; it is about the moment when, as a young woman, Judith Schrijver can courageously foreground her own voice, commenting “It’s great that you inspire us, but let’s now stand side by side in the line of women who continue to fuel each other, to enable me to become me”. The work will be shown at Zaal3, The Hague and Bellevue, Amsterdam in 2021.
