Korzo UP Interview

I see you see me is a duet rummaging through its contents: two people, a room, and a quiet world that unfolds in a continuous re-composition of physical and emotional space.  Loosely referencing the visual language of Edward Hopper and Egon Schiele, the work explores transient spaces that move through our interior,  between the stoic and the expressed, the composed and the undone.

Set within a minimal interior frame — a rug, a table, a lamp, a chair — the piece grounds itself in rearrangements. The performers pass through shifting tangents that pulse, drift, interrupt and reorient another, inviting a landscape where meaning arises through disorientation.

I see you see me resists linear narratives, instead offering a sustained meditation on presence and observation.  It desires the gaze of a witness to share in the poetics of unfolding, to hold the shifting moments with tender eyes.

There's no linear narrative to follow here, despite the visual suggestion.  The scene becomes a meeting point of many scenes.  We are two oddities, two people, becoming and reflecting the others around us, in us.  The tangents we traverse that bring us through many places, unsettling, drifting, longing, as we attempt to turn inside out and expose.  Shifting surroundings and selves that also reorient one through another, back to ourselves.  Isn't that what we're here for? I see you see me. Attempting to make sense of it. I am moving, shifting, looking outward, and then looking inward.  I am amidst, sometimes found, often lost.  And to be lost is one way to remember what it is to be alive.
