"WE ARE ALL ARTISTS WHEN WE DREAM"
Pillow Talk is a theatrically performed essay on dreaming and dream imagery. It is build on Dulcinea Langfelder's personal dreams which she registered with a Dictaphone placed under her pillow. Spectators hear the original recordings of the dreams as they watch them being simultaneously enacted by Dulcinea on stage.
Dulcinea Langfelder is a multi-disciplinary artist. In addition to her real dreams narration that explores the surreal landscape in her subconscious mind, she uses animation, video projections, image collages, music, movement and dance. The imagery projected as a backdrop and also on her body is strong, colourful, and expresses well her dreams' narrative.
There is a playful part to her dreams and a number of funny moments. Especially, the portrayal of her obsession with Barak Obama will make the audience laugh. The Obama line goes through the entire play, as a single unifying theme to hold all the other disconnected imagery together. At a certain point it is no longer perceived as being funny as it was at the beginning of the play.
The performance includes the upper body nudity that does not seem to be necessary to express the artistic meaning of the dreams. In fact, it appears somewhat gratuitous. Overall, the play represents a very original concept and gives the spectators an opportunity to ponder on their own dreams and personal dream imagery.
