CAN A SHADOW HAVE A PERSON?

Premiere: 2021

Duration: 50 minutos

Format: Medium
Public: All

Language: English

Every person has a shadow, but can a shadow also have a person?

How many characters coexist in one body?

How can we animate our different "selves"?

What if this was not a fight but a game? ... or a dance?

Two parts of one whole. Two inseparable bodies.

This performance explores a poetic and (self-)reflective space in which two bodies represent one person; like two different sides of one whole. The ever-changing relationship between these bodies becomes a physical reflection on our internal negotiations and perceived duality. The piece suggests that one's inner world can be seen as a microcosm of the whole. It aims to raise awareness of how human resources can be treated respectfully, even when we are faced with the adversities of the world in crisis. 

This work is a reflection on the arduous journey towards a sustainable and balanced world by considering a perspective of the "other" as an extension of one's self.
