Irene K. - A man in a blue sleeveless outfit stands while holding up a woman in a matching blue dress, who is suspended and gripping his clothing—a striking Tanzduett by Compagnie Irene K against a dark background.

A mask and a skirt become pretext

gender is a social construct
the mask is a symbol of duality
true or false identity
real or imaginary
secret and disguised thoughts
diverse forms of the “I”

Two people connected to one another—for better or worse. An interplay of dependence and independence, holding on and letting go, closeness and distance.
