... In ‘The One We Act, The Other We Are’, the two protagonists dance to, with and against each other without losing sight of each other. The two dancers do full justice to the title and its message
in this finely tuned work." ...

( Nora Abdel Rahman, Ludwigshafen, Tanznetz )

 

*„ …In „The One We Act, The Other We Are“ tanzen die beiden Protagonisten zu-, mit und gegeneinander, ohne sich aus den Augen zu verlieren. Dem Titel und seiner Botschaft werden die beiden Tänzer
in dieser fein abgestimmten Arbeit vollkommen gerecht.“ …

( Nora Abdel Rahman, Ludwigshafen, Tanznetz )

*original language

"The one we act, the other we are"

"The duet shows the inner conflict of a person with himself, mirrored by his ego. The idea is researched and based on the Greek mythology of Narcissus. Nowadays Narcissism is becoming a daily phenomenon through self-broadcasting and in social media. We can fall into dangerous delusions. Do you realize how sick we are acting? Act well and be good!"
