The Un(Double)
The Double by Dostoevsky serves as the backbone deep in this physical dance/theater piece’s origins. Dostoevsky’s first published novella arguably births the anti-hero and an example of why narrative, individual freewill, choices, can be devastating to self and society. The Un(Double) is a physical theater unravelling of the heroic narratives that drive an individual’s life journey and the devastation when that projection of self is not met.
