Description

Heart Chamber focuses on the elements of falling in love that expose us to our most intense beauty, but also to our most intense vulnerabilities and insecurities. It is a grand opera on the miniature physical and psychic changes that push two strangers towards or away from each other as they embark on a transformative path, the conclusion of which cannot be envisaged. Two naked souls wrapped in their existential loneliness like a second skin have a chance of a true connection which could outweigh their internal isolation. This chance is euphoric and dangerous to an equal degree: there is so much at stake.

Heart Chamber only features two characters and just a hint of a story – a chain of connected situations, dreams, nodal moments when something opens up or closes down – as the internal mental landscape of the lovers is propelled towards tectonic change. Chaya Czernowin
