ORLANDO TRIP

Music crosses literature: ORLANDO TRIP is a performing arts concert about the mythical character Orlando. And a tribute to the great European minds Ludovico Ariosto and Virginia Woolf.

Orlando, a knight, traveller and ambassador, crosses the seas several times and finally returns as a masterful and nomadic conqueror of rigid borders. 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 offers an international audience sensual access to a European myth about fluidity and the feminine art of transformation.

ORLANDO TRIP has been invited at international theatres and festivals in Turkey, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Romania, Greece, Slovenia, Israel, Sri Lanka, Tunesia, Bulgaria, Italy, Canada, USA and Austria.

A sea story - a triumph of the unconscious and fluidity - that will delight cineastes, music lovers and literature enthusiasts alike.

»They are carrying the viewer breathlessly, theatrically and cinematically, into their world.« Irina-Margareta Nistor (film & performance critic)

»A performance with a hypnotic aura, of an unsettling simplicity, in which the poetry completes the music and the image supports the metaphor of the fluidity of genres.« Adriana Moca (theater critic)

»A successful mix of elegance and opulence… a real tour de force on stage.« filme-carti
