Duplicity, a performance piece by Alysha Hermann & RYT ensemble
'We are duplicity. We are the intent to deceive. Are we going to be ok?' A young girl is disappearing, accompanied by two strangely familiar guides she will be dragged through a series of flashbacks and dreams to finally encounter the tragedy at the heart of two deeply entwined families. Duplicity is a poetic exploration of the intricacy of family interaction and the need we all have to deceive and 'fake it' sometimes. Directed by Miriam Lyon & Choreographed by Portia Magann
