ANIMUS
1420 S. Washington Ave.
Minneapolis, MN 55454
United States
Inspired by Ingmar Bergman's 1966 psychological film, PERSONA, ANIMUS uses performance, multi-media projection, and live video captured onstage to explore the merging identities of two modern women, one who speaks and one who doesn't, who compare hands and "get all mixed up in one another." Focusing on themes of identity, shame and voyeurism, ANIMUS explores not only personal identity, but also online personas, blurring what is real and what is fake.
ANIMUS is created and performed by Emily Michaels King and Debra Berger of E/D and Amber Johnson of DangerVision Productions.
