Overview
In The Revery Alone, featuring a 3D-projection of a solo dance performance by Eleonore Ansari, Billy Cowie transformed the experience of lying in a hospital bed into a sensual pleasure. With the aid of 3D glasses, he took the audience through the rusty roof of the Wapping Hydraulic Power Station into the centre of his meditative and lyrical choreography. The boundaries between the performer and the viewer became blurred in the journey through the virtual world. The naked body of the dancer came into close yet unreachable contact with ‘the patient’.
