Sånafest 2018
Room Service is a live interactive film lasting the duration of a restless night. Two women, two men, in four identical hotel rooms – alone. Comfortably embedded in the luxurious world of room service, in the knowledge that nearly everything can be ordered, the performers turn into prisoners of their own desires. Everything they need is delivered to their doors. But will that make them sleep? Free to do what they want, when the want, they play games with themselves in the isolation of their rooms. They kill time in cold baths or by finding comfort in the solace of the hotel mini bar. Flipping from hysterical self-amusement to introverted self-observation, they create different personas and tell the stories of their life.
The audience watch a live feed of the events on 4 video monitors in a conference room of the same hotel, turning the intimacy of the private rooms into a stage. The apparent privacy of the performers is occasionally broken by their conscious gaze into the camera – showing that they are very aware of the audience’s presence. And it’s this assurance which helps them make it through the night.
