Violet
Staged on a miniature vintage book theatre set, Violet is the first of a series of short experimental films that make up the Requiem collection, a project initially begun as an acoustic songwriting project. The songs of Requiem were written over seven years (largely in the cracks and gaps of other projects and plans) and recorded with voice and piano in 2024.
A two-act folktale on love in an age of extinction
In its film form, Violet inhabits the nebulous territory of dream state, where the elements of electroacoustic soundscape, dance theatre, stop motion animation and poetry collude to capture a sense of the metamorphosis and enchantment characteristic of early surrealist cinema.
Written and directed by The Salons
