Dulcinea Langfelder created Victoria in 1999—a dance piece about old age, vulnerability and cognitive decline. It has been presented in fifteen countries and eight languages, and is still available for touring today. To pay tribute to the work and the issues it raises, Dulcinea Langfelder & Co and the Fondation Jean-Pierre Perreault are co-producing a series of short videos and share here a series of articles around the characters of the piece.
