Mirrors

Mirrors shows the chaos caused by the amount of digital information that people receive daily. We take our online mores with us to the non-digital world. But what happens when we see and touch each other face-to-face again? What is it like when the distance that the digital world creates between us becomes smaller and we need each other again?

“At a certain point I noticed how insecure I became about social media. Am I working hard enough? Am I lagging behind my peers? Both in the evening and in the morning I would almost obsessively read the comments under posts. This became a fixed ritual. Not only mentally, but also physically it started to take its toll. I had to step out, unfollow, unplug. By disconnecting myself from it I got breath and peace again. I found my balance again. From this experience the concept for Mirrors emerged.” - Donna Chittick

In the hip hop dance performance Mirrors we see 4 dancers, who dance with the physical burden of too much digital information. Who has the right to hide? Who takes the right to share and who judges whom? A struggle between participating in the virtual world and at the same time losing contact with others and yourself.   [Source (Original or ML Translation): Bijlmer Park Theatre]
