The driving force of the performance and the work on the performance – Carousel, is a constant need for transformation, an attempt at escaping one’s own identity and self-referentiality. By exposing our need for performance as a place of taking on other identities, we expose a fragile part of ourselves.

Is it possible to speak of one own’s performative authenticity by adopting performative ‘forgeries’ like dance, film and theater quotes or different dance forms like social dances, e.g. flamenco and jazz dance?

We started the work inspired by theater as a place of illusion, a medium which functions through codes and conventions, seeking a common, universal language for a performance which is not a banal division of dramatic and dancing parts.
