In the work of twins Patricia and Marie-France Martin the idea of duality is a constant factor, inevitable and indivisible. ’C’est comme être’ is a multi-layered exploration of the space between ‘them’ and ‘the other’, the confusion between ‘the true’ and ‘the copy’, between reality and fiction. In concealing masks and reflective mirrors we are looking for our identity, and simultaneously for another person, but these remain images of our incompleteness, snippets of our being. This poetic and elegant fusion of video and choreography is accompanied by the music of Jean-Paul & Robin Rimbaud and Jean-Luc Fafchamps.
