Dichotomy

"So what should we choose ? The hard or the easy one? (...) The whole world is divided into pairs of opposites: light-darkness, delicacy-roughness, warmth-cold, being-nothingness. One pole of the pair of opposites was considered positive (light, warmth, subtlety, being), the other negative. Such a division into negative and positive poles could be considered child's play. (...) Only one thing is certain: the opposition between heavy and light is the most obvious and clearest of all opposites." /Milan Kundera: The unbearable lightness of existence/

How does the same movement look with opposite charges, can these energies be opposites at all? Or separated, could one not exist without the other?

HIM

Just as every man has female energy, every woman has male energy. With this in mind, I had a simple idea. Let's give the viewer a title: 'HIM' (English pronoun, singular 3rd person, masculine gender, object case). Then when he comes to the performance, show him the story of four girls. What will he think? What will he associate with? Where is this boy? What will the performance be about? Is it about a man or a woman? Both or neither?
