PROGRAMME NOTES
In to go out is a work rich in and inspired by introspection, self study and the ability to look inward in order to expand and grow out. The idea of having two bodies in the space could resemble one seeing themselves and not recognizing who they see in front of them sending them on a journey to find out who they really are. It could also resemble the thought of working on one’s self.
