Information
Venue: Freud Museum
Duration: 90 mins
Cléo is a beautiful singer living in Paris waiting for a medical diagnosis. Over the next two hours she is propelled by her anxiety into a rich series of encounters from shopping to falling in love. Barely visible on her face, Cleo’s anxious fears are instead revealed in the uncanny way she, and through her eyes the audience, begins to perceive and move energetically through the world when faced with her mortality.
The film will be introduced by curator, writer and editor at Afterall, Helena Vilalta.
Also at the Freud Museum, the UK premiere of Latifa Laåbissi's solo dance Écran Somnambule
