Dualism takes its name from the idea that most conditions are defined by two fundamental polarities; through this lens 'good' and 'evil' or 'soft' and 'hard' are viewed as equal and opposing forces in the world.
It translates the artist’s lifetime of navigating identity as a mixed-race, queer person in polarised Greece into a dance performance. Exploring feelings of living ‘in-between’ and the constant negotiation of opposing forces – Dualism is a vital act of reclaiming and articulating these often complex experiences, and hopes to resonate with those who face similar complexities of identity and duality.
