Portrait
2012
She is at home. Alone.
Outside, the world rages on.
Inside, everything appears still.
She thinks no one is watching.
Portrait is a painting that slowly begins to pulse.
A held breath before the turning.
A still life on a volcano.

Press
A spiritual waiting room, a theatrical isolation cell (…) A meticulously constructed tableau vivant, theatre stripped to the bone. – Wouter Hillaert in De Morgen.
Sound, image and performance merge into a fascinating whole (…) In beautifully sculpted scenes, Ryckewaert reveals himself as a promising theatre maker. – Els Van Steenberghe in Knack.
