Any Size Mirror is a Dictator

“In its final form, Any Size Mirror is a Dictator is an installation and 7 weekends of evolving and always-situational performances through frenetically moving and singing bodies, live music and sculptural props. It forces spectators into experiential paradoxes surrounding relationality and subjectivity, materiality and immateriality, and meaning-interpretation vs. meaning-making.”
