ONCE UPON A FIGHT

2024

π˜–π˜―π˜€π˜¦ 𝘜𝘱𝘰𝘯 𝘈 𝘍π˜ͺ𝘨𝘩𝘡 is the performative exploration in two acts of what twinhood can hold in a hyper-individualized world.
By bringing everyday arguments to the theater stage, the work merges real life experiences of a twin
with the fictional structure of the performance:

On a rainy and windy day, two identical characters take the stage.
Amidst their everyday arguments, they swap roles; rehearsing what it is to be and exploring the boundaries of selfhood.
In the never-ending pursuit of becoming the sole winner, they steer away aimlessly, beginning anew as soon as it ends.
Holding a script, a third figure emerges to narrate and guide the characters actions.

Between love-management and arm wrestling, mundanity of everyday life takes hold;
leaving behind a scattered and interconnected unit that never, fully, came to be.
