yourFace
Ballet Augsburg
Premiere — April 2019, Augsburg, Germany
Facial appearance is vital for human recognition, human interaction, and effective communication. yourFACE exposes the audience to authentic and unforgiving truths and to the highs and lows that come with life on the stage. Doubting reality and running with the danger of glorifying false appearances, these characters begin to reflect upon behavioral patterns as drops of uncertainty are exhausted. Muted beneath a rubble pile of false beliefs, deeply rooted images about control and obsession are explored. yourFACE captures the physical response to an uncontrollable reaction.
