Presented inside an earth-lined burrow, Burrow Me invites us to take part in the story of the inhabitant of an underground lair, built into the Lighthouse space. A small tunnel leads to a screening space, the home of Eva's child (Eva is a previous character from one of Prouvost's films); he is the builder of this soily burrow. He tells us his fantastic story using conflicting dialogue, disturbing the meaning of spoken words, subtitles and images. In Burrow Me, Prouvost attempts to create a bond between narrator and viewer, developing a world where the audience's imagination is at work... Here a place is made where the believable be- comes unbelievable and the unbelievable believ- able.

This work was commissioned by Lighthouse.
