WHITE LADY

A videodance inspired by David Lynch’s 'The Elephant Man'. Though not clearly obvious in the piece, Nyst presents five tableaux that recall John Merrick’s mother’s life. The piece, openly Romantic and dramatic, flirts with the border of kitsch. 'White Lady', a choreography by Anne Cornelis danced by Carole Frère, is one of the last pieces Nyst made before his death in 1996.
