Choeur des Amants (França)
'Lovers’ Choir', by Tiago Rodrigues, is a lyrical narrative where a young couple recounts, in two voices, the life-or-death situation they are experiencing when one of them can no longer breathe. Simultaneously, the two actors/lovers present slightly different versions of the same events, celebrating the vital force of love when everything else is called into question, and normality becomes unreachable.
