Our Cold Loves combines video and performance to explore love in the digital age. Blending cinema and theatre, it introduces audiences to 22 characters seeking intimacy on dating apps such as Tinder and invites the audience to embody these characters from the world of online dating while questioning the underlying mechanisms at play. In this intimate community, gathered around a dining table, you and your table companions, accompanied by Ariane Loze, will reassemble fragments of dialogue into a new montage of the video (in English). Presented by the Consulate General of Belgium in Hong Kong for The Belgian Days. Recommended for ages 16+.
