I look at you when you look at me looking at you looking at me. Where does your gaze end and mine begin? The gaze does not belong to either, it is a relationship in which you participate.
Voyeur explores the gaze—how looking shapes both the performer and the audience.
In the performance, the audience encounters a group of performers on a stage divided by a large window. The performers are on one side of the window and the audience is on the other. This transparent barrier makes visible the fundamental dynamics of performance: people gathered in the same space to look at each other. The work is non-verbal and communicates with the audience through bodily action, light and sound.
