The Other Me is a contemporary dance piece for two dancers. The creation embodies the way we develop our identity in relation to the "other", body, relation, person or a side of our selves. The "Me" is invented and re-built, confronted to its multiple temporalities. The body is seing as a moving entity which evolves and transforms over the course of the time, constantly rebuilding its image and the self.

The Other Me est une pièce de danse contemporaine créée pour deux  femmes, qui explore notre identité narrative et cherche à tisser des liens entre le mouvement et la création  plastique. Le “Me” (moi), s’invente et se transforme, se confronte à son moi-multiple, temporel; Une entité mouvante qui se transforme au fil des récits, ne cessant de reconstruire son image en permanence.

Unique space and a visual representation of the narrative self

Claire Camous, dancer and visual artist, works on the reinvention of recycled paper creating sustainable art in different forms. For The Other Me, hundreds of "galets"/"rocks" were designed in white, gray and black tones,  representing the different nuances and phases in our personal development. Manipulating and reinventing the material was an important part of the process, as we searched for ways for the decor to transform at the same time as the bodies on stage.
