An analogous tale about men seeing woman as instrumental objects layered with introspective glimpses inside the psyche and the duality that challenges our reactions. Explores the themes of roles in society, feminism, equality and acceptance, narcissism, Utopian vs Dystopian society and our control or lack of within the social ranks; a very timely piece.

Jones (Welsh) and Anne-Marie Talmadge combine their choreography and innovative vision into dynamic partnering that incorporates a unique brand of physical storytelling with stunning digital animation effects of J-Walt Adamczyk and video installation artist Hannah Beavers.
