Reverie – a dream of autoimmunity
A once grand hall in an abandoned manor house – now in a dilapidated state of disrepair. A young woman, a dreamy new friendship, and a curse. An unorthodox relationship, but one which has utterly lifted her from a state of melancholia.
Suddenly this friendship takes a sinister turn, and she finds herself in a nightmarish scenario – where comfort is replaced by claustrophobia and trust by terror.
Rule one – never ever share your innermost secrets.
Rule two – old houses are not to be trusted.
Entanglements between chronic illness and a repetitive dream inspired Joanna’sautofictional tale of love, loss and unpredictability. Reverie is performed as a dreamlike monologue by award-winning actress Louise Kim Salter and directed by Stéphanie Joalland.
