“s(i)mile” is about the ambiguity, contradiction and inner conflicts of a person’s inner world. The schizophrenic quality of the dance and the music reveals multifaceted personalities. Like moving mirrors reflecting light with subtle shifts, the performers reflect various aspects of their relationship. This duet was originally inspired by “The picture of Dorian Gray” by Oscar Wilde.
