Un ballo in maschera
(2004)
Direction: Yinka Shonibare
Choreographer: Lisa Torun
Screened at Moderna Museet in Stockholm as part of Fashination and on Swedish Television.
Production Moderna Museet and Swedish Television.
The story of the assasination of the Swedish King Gustav III is performed in the form of a dance act, choreographed by Lisa Torun. Thirty dancers, tell the story of what happened on 16 March, 1792, when the king was shot at a masked ball at the Opera.
The film was shot at a Rococo theatre (Confidencen) in Stockholm that was commissioned by Gustav III's mother, Lovisa Ulrika (1720-1780).
Cinnamon Skin
The song writing duo Lisa Torun and Pete M Wyer collaborated for several years in their band Cinnamon Skin, performing around the UK and recording an albums worth of songs.
Never quite deciding what they were they went through acoustic versions of their songs to 5 piece rock band to a jazzier sound to wild experiments inspired by Björk... And still the songs live on.
