Description Jan Lauwers, artistic director of Needcompany, was inspired to create Isabella's Room, the story of the fictional Isabella Morandi, by his inheritance of a collection of ethnological and archaeological objects from his father. Born blind, Isabella lives a withdrawn existence in a room in Paris. She becomes a participant in a scientific experiment in which a camera projects images of a collection of objects directly into her brain, and the objects become her obsession. A richly imagistic story of passion and love, Isabella's Room reflects the turbulence and accelerated pace of our culture as it amplifies the interior world of its principal character. Isabella is portrayed by Viviane De Muynck, renowned as one of the most accomplished actors of the European vanguard.
