ME – Story of a performance
ME is a story of a performance. We follow the performance from different perspectives: how it is perceived by the dancer, the audience and how it can be seen from an objective point of view as a mere code. Through these the interpretation of a different world – The Performance is created and we are all sucked into being a part of it.
