Description

What if our "true self" isn't the one we show to the world? A poignant performance about the masks we each wear, even in our private lives.<div> What if we spent our entire lives playing roles?</div><div> Are we adapting to the expectations of others to the point of forgetting who we really are?</div><div><br></div><div> Alter Idem tells the story of two people who meet, fall in love, and grow closer... but remain hidden behind the masks they've built to survive the world's gaze. Behind everyday gestures, smiles, and the couple's routines, an invisible distance gradually takes hold. Until the moment when a question becomes impossible to avoid: can one love fully without revealing one's true self?</div><div><br></div><div> Alter Idem is a contemporary duo inspired by the themes explored by the writer Luigi Pirandello, famous for his reflections on social masks and human contradictions. Through his works, he questions a society where everyone ends up playing a role to adapt to the gaze of others.</div><div> This vision, surprisingly relevant today, resonates deeply with our time and nourishes the heart of Alter Idem.</div><div><br></div><div> Here, dance is first and foremost a vehicle for storytelling and emotion. You don't need to be a contemporary dance enthusiast to be swept away. The show resonates with both dance aficionados and those discovering this world for the first time. Blending emotion, tenderness, humor, and vulnerability, the performance immerses the audience in a profoundly human and universal story.</div>
