Who is Lou? is an interdisciplinary project initiated by Swedish choreographer Emma Nordanfors and Danish curator Louise Witthoft in collaboration with Canadian installation artist Rodney LaTourelle and Swedish composer Stefan Thorsson. Performed by Vera Priklonskaya and Nadya Khrenkova.

In a period of human history characterized by some as ‘the end times’; when the past is under continuous revision, the ‘future’ already come and gone, and for many, daily life is inconceivable without the perpetual present of the internet, the notion of ‘time’ is as contested as ever. Nevertheless, time, however misunderstood, is a fundamental part of existence. Body, earth, and star cycles structure our world, even as we check our phones for the hour and minute. And while we know that time is not only just an intellectual structure to sequence and compare events, how in fact do we really experience it? Although we feel numerous kinds of time simultaneously, why is there the sense that we live in a continuous and yet irretrievable ‘now’. As Albert Einstein writes: is “the only reason for time so that everything doesn’t happen at once?” Or does it prevent things from happening altogether? These are some of the questions that Who is Lou? poses.
