Stumbling in the limbo between the theatrical stage and the everyday-life as two stages for performing neoliberal subjectivity, this piece states the act of performing as an invitation to question and shackle the identity of the dancer as tied inextricably to notions and practices of the neoliberal subject and its modes of relating to self, others, body and success in the capitalist society. How is identity reconstructed and deconstructed when manifested through the body as always becoming in a relation to the world and our codified norms? With a good bunch of sarcasm the performance stretches not just the dancer's identity, but also the demands by the neoliberal society inviting into questions of gendered identities, matters of gaze, losing control and boxing or succumbing to dominating socialization and appropriation. All with clothing as an excuse to create a ritual of performing as being and becoming in the relational space of the stage. Can the dancer's identity ever be separated by the identities demanded by the society within which she acts?

Presented at the theatre of The Danish National School of Performing Arts, Copenhagen, in December 2020 as a peer-to-peer performance due to COVID-19.
