Collaboration with Leila Ziu
2014

In the quest for a place charged with history and profound spiritual connections, Mexico emerged as the chosen land for this project, standing as a symbol, reflecting both historical ties to the world of the dead but also contemporary rupture brought about by external influences.
Immersing themselves through auto-hypnosis protocols to achieve a heightened state of consciousness - a mediumistic state where the invisible could find expression, the performer embarks on a transformative journey through the exploration of two disctinct locations:
The Sierra de Huautla biosphere reserve and the streets of Mexico City.
Doppel investigates the conflict of identity and stands as an homage to the spiritual roots that persist despite the challenges of time and external influences.
