Overview

Inspired by Andersen’s tale, The Double follows a Scientist who releases his shadow, only to see it gain autonomy, power, and eventually replace him. Across ten tableaux of about two minutes each, the 20–30 minute experience traces this transformation through a sequence of dreamlike scenes blending realism and abstraction.
