Old EGOS - Joy Alpuerto Ritter

In a world with many possibilities and choices, we can get lost in what we really want.

The way we are treated by our parents, family, friends, or other authorities shapes our personality and we are used to controlling our emotions and social behavior. Also in daily life we try to adapt, transform, change and wear an imaginary mask in order to function and fit in society.

What if that mask takes over? Are we aware of this? Can we control the changes we make? What do we really feel? Are we expressing ourselves authentically or are we trying to meet other people's expectations?

In the 30-minute performance of Alter Egos, Joy Alpuerto Ritter uses the concept of embodying multiple personalities. Transformation between different worlds and minds through the use of different dance techniques, styles and facial expressions.
