Synopsis
The choreography deals with the strangeness everyone feels when they see themselves reflected in the mirror. The reflected image is always the same, but each person feels it in a different way, according to their experiences. "The mirror gives us the same image every day, but what you see is not always what you feel; your imagination can take you very far, but the mirror doesn't lie, the reflection is always the same." (Patrick Delcroix)
