Tasalla Tabasom

"Experiments in defiance"

This performance explored the multifaceted nature of power dynamics, particularly in relation to human desire, agency, and control. Through an understanding of the psychological underpinnings, the artists navigate the intricate web of socio-cultural, historical, and ideological influences that shape these power dynamics.

The shifting boundaries and dependencies inherent in these power dynamics, embodying the roles of submissive, dominant figures, and the persona of the switch—a character who adeptly oscillates between both ends of the spectrum.
