Synopsis

 

A virus is an unfamiliar code wrapped in a familiar form. It spreads successfully through the body because the body mistakes it for one of its own. The unfamiliar code competes for command of the body. If it wins it turns the body into a factory to make more viruses.

 

Sub Rosa is an interdisciplinary performance group dedicated to creating one-to-one performances on location.

 

Amsterdam-born Aniek Boon is a visual artist and performer. She studied at the Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam, the School of Visual Theatre in Jerusalem and the Chrysalis Theatre School in London. Aniek works in a variety of fields-she makes video work (which has been shown, amongst other places, at the Rotterdam Film Festival) and installations (Paviljoens, Almere), designs sets for television and theatre (Credit Card Called Life), and performs (OraculosHolland Festival).

 

Annemarie Kalma studied film at Utrecht University. After graduating, she worked for several film-production companies as a project-developer and script editor. In 2001, she and Nataša Lušetič founded Sub Rosa, a performance group dedicated to the creation of interactive performance situations on location.
