“Dualism” is a dance performance that takes you into the everyday life of a multicultural individual. The performance is created by Alexander Montgomery-Andersen and Madeleine Fairminer, both with multicultural backgrounds. They play with the inner processes, from the conscious to the subconscious. They raise questions about our daily actions and social interactions, based on the cultural differences we carry with us. How do I navigate through crowds, which interactions do I engage in, and which do I choose not to? Am I visibly multicultural to those around me? And what expectations does the outside world have of me?
These questions, and more, are what the two dancers have worked with. In the performance, you will experience the mental and emotional challenges they have gone through, which you can possibly recognize within yourself. We are all composed of multiple layers of culture, traditions, and environmental influences. How much of this are we truly aware of? Welcome into our universe!
