Les Amoureux

In her only garment, a faded, tattered once-wedding dress, the Countess, neither alive nor dead, is a reluctant huntress, condemned forever to slake a thirst that will not let her rest. She turns over a tarot card. For the first time ever, she has drawn Les Amoureux. Her keeper and the shadows bear witness to the arrival of the handsome young soldier…

Based around Angela Carter’s story, this is a story of love, life and death, a twisted Sleeping Beauty with the faded opulent feel of a gothic fantasy with a strong Eastern European quality. Combining dance and physical theatre with opera, voice and design, Les Amoureux is a sensual tale of purity and damage.
