“I think water is very quiet because it is blue.”
Air is air. Sometimes I talk to the air, but it doesn’t answer me.”
The poetry of these words from the documentary “Ik Lief” inspired director Lies Van Assche: a romantic portrait of Catherine Springuel, an actress suffering from Down syndrome. A performance about true and pure communication between the mentally disabled.
Two actors and a musician play along with the poetical character of the documentary and end up with the love poetry of the disabled.
