Lola & Mr. TalkLola & Mr. Talk is a bizarre and at the same time humourous story of an aging couple of Lola and Albert. After years of living together, their relationship is overwhelmed by boredom, thus they create an abstract figure of Monsieur Le Manque (He Who Is Missing) to fulfill their hidden dreams and desires. Albert wishes to be like him - to have his youth, strength, admiration. Lola longs for him - she desires the qualities that Albert no longer has. Although the performance touches a serious subject of human relationships, the story of Lola and Albert is told with ease and humour. Apart from dance, spoken word and film projections create a means of expression in the performance.
