Socratic dialogue, psychiatric intake exam, dance/movement and literary adaptation—The (Un)Double, inspired by Fyodor Dostoevsky’s novella The Double. Taking the audience through the lens of several real-life icons of doubleness, it dissects the space between the self, the ideal and the unreliable if not violent role of narrative. From Dostoevsky’s incisive characterization of the human desire to be seen as someone we are not, a complicated journey emerges by which one maintains the self.
How dangerous is the desire to become an image of oneself, and where does that image come from? Focusing in on extreme cases of doubleness today, the performance asks how does The Double pathology manifest in contemporary society, and is there a point at which it can be identified and rerouted?
Presented by The Useless Room.
