Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s The Duc de L’Omelette, IMPOSTOR is an eerily unsettling glimpse into our deepest selves; an encounter with demons and, at the same time, a fairytale that defies a dichotomous perception of good and evil. In the almost symbiotic relationship between the dancer and a multifaceted, Medusa-like creature, the boundaries between the ‘self’ and the ‘other’ become blurred. Not only do infinite opportunities for manipulation arise, but also the question of who controls whom, who assumes the dominant role and who is willing to simply play along.
