Maybe if you choreograph me, you will feel better

Performance

Reviews

A one-on-one performance exploring gender-based power struggles in the intimate and public sphere. A male audience member looks out of a window onto the street. Somewhere, among the dozens of passersby, he will find a woman who will perform his every instruction. The audience choreographs the performer while speaking to her through a set of wireless headphones. She is not able to talk back. He will create the perfect passing-by of a woman beneath his window. He will chose her outfit, the way she walks, and even her feelings. She might resist instructions or disappear into the crowd.
