It’s always a good idea to travel light, and taking flight and exploring new horizons doesn’t require a ready-made story. A collection of small moments, encounters between the ordinary and the extraordinary, the banal and the fantastic, are enough for us to pass on through to the “other side” like Alice stepping through the looking glass. It involves opening a door, not a door in a theatre or a museum, but an installation – half collage of objects, half scrolling tableaux vivants.
