LARA B. Interview #5
I met Lara B in Cape Town at a casting and was immediately struck by her look that seemed to have time traveled here from another era. My normal opening question of “what do you do with your spare time, any hobbies or passions?” was answered nonchalantly by “I play the cello”. So we penciled a shoot date.There is little in the way of a written description needed when someone is involved in a art as expressive as music. Lara and I headed to Elgin, a small farming town outside of Cape Town, to find a natural habitat where she could play us “The Swan” - Carnival of Animals on her cello. Though the result remains conceptual I think it is very close to the person that Lara Burger is.
