Alissa in Concert

Erik Van Zuylen explores the theatre, though he has primarily made a film. The story is quite simple and originates in a brief romance between a man and a woman. The woman, a cello-player ('played' by the experimental cellist Frances-Marie Uitti) seems unable to
forget him and sets out to look for him. She sees him everywhere, in ever changing shapes and apparently ignoring they ever met before. The man is a fiction, the result of the woman's longing and in that respect the embodiment of the pain love can inflict.
