Double Vision (2016)
This piece was produced and performed in collaboration with Lorena Barrera Enciso.
Two performers, seemingly identical, each other's double, peek out from behind the curtain. The body is cut up and divided in sections: hands, arms, feet, legs, face, etc. Their limbs performing little actions and gestures, they seem to have minds of their own. The audience furthers the division as they are instructed to view the performance through small square mirrors. A strange dance ensues as the audience, with their backs to the performance behind the curtains, move through the dimly-lit room attempting to see the performers through their now obscured vision. Along the walls, other audience members who were not given mirrors begin to sit in the stands. They watch the audience members with mirrors perform for them. The audience with mirrors have not realized that they have now become actors in the performance too.
