This award-winning duet explores the delicate interplay between identity and anonymity. In a world shaped by external perceptions, it asks how one connects with the unseen aspects of oneself. Set to the poignant prose of Charles Bukowski, the performance unfolds as a captivating journey where the unknown transforms into the known, the invisible becomes visible, and the anonymous reveals its essence.
If I never see you again
I will always carry you
inside
outside
on my fingertips
and at brain edges
and in centers
centers
of what I am of
what remains
- Bukowski -
If I never see you again
