Alex Miklosy
Set to baroque scores, the work explores the complex relationship between a man and his clothes. The solo builds a narrative around our attachment to clothing, emphasising the emotional and excessive bond we form with the garments we wear, contrasted by the contradictory ease with which we discard them shortly after. The performance aims to spark a reflection on our consumption habits and their ecological impact on the planet.
