THE CHILD

Costume designer
Copenhagen, Denmark, 2014

CHILD is a mystical story inspired by the world known philosopher René Descartes and a big mechanical doll. According to the story, the doll would have been built by the philosopher to replace his dead dotter Francine. Guided by two sea creatures the audience travels through world under water, where human and the mechanical doll are twined together. They float in the air and together they dance the portrait of the imaginary reunion of Francine`s soul and her mechanical alter ego.

CHILD explores our understanding of body and soul, human and machine and our fascination to myths and science.
