Two countries, two companies, one vision: Overcoming boarders and clichés – on the track of joint European narrations in arts and academics: ORLANDO TRIP and DIDO is a spectacular package of mirroring and correlating performances on universal human needs and feelings – ancient, contemporary and utopian all at once. Touring as a double-date in Turkey in June 2024!
In the midst of an era that elevates rigid boundaries to an omnipresent principle and earnest threat, ORLANDO TRIP (Fox On Ice, AT) as well as DIDO (Company RAu, TR) set a poetic counterpoint. Both performances transform world-famous, ancient European myth in contemporary stage-art. All tour-dates find below!
ORLANDO TRIP is a cinematic music show about the mythical character Orlando. And a tribute to the great European minds Lodovico Ariosto and Virginia Woolf.
Orlando, a knight and traveller, crosses the seas several times and finally returns as a woman. His/her story is performed in 12 songs, intermezzi and videos.
ORLANDO TRIP is simultaneously a spoken performance, a concert and a rush of images. Fox On Ice creates the suggestion of an effortless transition between stage and film, humans and landscape, man and woman. It is the suggestion of a departure, a journey of discovery into an unknown land. In this sequence of transformations, a poetic ego liquefies, celebrating the dual gender of the soul and promising one thing above all: freedom.
ORLANDO TRIP has been invited at international theatres and festivals in Turkey, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Romania, Greece, Slovenia, Israel, Sri Lanka and Austria.
