‘One in One’ is a world where we can try these roles on, where we can be any or all of them.

“Man, woman, mother, father, kid. We shift from one to the other while staying the one as well. ‘One in One’ is a world where we can try these roles on, where we can be any or all of them. An inner trip through time and space, touching love, absence, community, loneliness, gender roles, touching ourselves and each other so that finally we can arrive to our new role…”

Whom do we get our life from? How do we inherit our fate? We get something and we pass something else. “They are like two peas, she looks exactly like her mother!” Where is the edge of our identity? Exactly where of our bodies? Or is it able to expand and flow into another person?

She comes from me, she is made of me, flesh and blood, but she is not Me. Who am I then? How do my roles change through my lifetime? From a child I become an adult, but still keep being somebody’s child. Mother and child. And partner. Who am I becoming when I step into a new role in  life?

‘One in one’ is a physical dance-performance, about the rebirth and evolution of body and soul, a research about the inevitable transformation through life, continuous changing and layering of the personality. How can the “person” come to the surface? How does it develop to be a parent while remaining a child too? How does it affect the body and soul and spirit, how does the inherited world influence our view on the world? What do we receive, what do we become, or pass on, how can past and future be connected through us?

With our lives we cut a little slice out of Time and World. This “slice” from my perspective, will be on stage today.

“To understand ourselves, to find the reason of our halts, to open up the truth behind our bad mood, failure and anxiety, or to understand why we repeat the same patterns in relationships over and over again, it is not enough to observe only our lives. The experiences, distress and suffering of our parents, grandparents and never-known ancestors all influence the flow of our fate. (…) One life can never be truly understood without the trans-generational effects.” (Noémi Orvos-Tóth. Inherited fate. 2018: 12 – 13)
