“ID Identity of the Soul”

Directed By Thomas Hoegh

Produced by Martine Rød

Identity of the Soul is a five screen cinematic interpretation of work by two of the world’s most illustrious and famous poets. ID was inspired by Henrik Ibsens’ ‘Terje Vigen’ and Mahmoud Darwishs’ ‘A Soldier Dreams of White Lilies’. With an extraordinary soundtrack, archive footage and narrated on the screen by the late Darwish himself. The moving associated images are dramatically interspersed with compelling sequences of powerful verse imaginatively brought to life by the performer’s impressive interpretation.  These are simultaneously projected onto five large screens. The symbolic imagery, music and movements act as a backdrop for the narrated words.
