The Drawing Project

FLEUR ELISE NOBLE

Fol­low­ing on from 2 Dimen­sional Life of Her, this new work in devel­op­ment by Fleur Elise Noble fol­lows the adven­tures of Rooman.

A young woman meets a half-man, half-kangaroo in her dreams and falls des­per­ately in love. Clos­ing her­self off from the world, she lives only for sleep. She lives only for Rooman. As her des­per­ate attempts to spend more time with Rooman stop work­ing, she begins to have trou­ble sleep­ing. Soon, she becomes an insom­niac, con­fined to a blurry, dishev­elled, half-awake half-asleep world. In an attempt to find Rooman again, she employs a magi­cian to recre­ate the real­ity she longs for. But his Roomen are mere cos­tumes, and the world he cre­ates is an uncon­vinc­ing replica. So, in the hope of find­ing the man of her dreams, she sets off into the desert in search of Rooman….

The Draw­ing Project is about fol­low­ing your dreams, no mat­ter how ridicu­lous or impos­si­ble that might seem.

First pre­sented as a part of the 2011 World The­atre Festival’s Scratch pro­gram, The Draw­ing Project will con­tinue its devel­op­ment, in col­lab­o­ra­tion with artists from around the world, cul­mi­nat­ing in the cre­ation of a major new visual the­atre production.
