"Who's Afraid Of?" is a story about freedom of speech, censorship and a big bad wolf. It's also the third chapter of the Doppelganger project.

The Doppelganger Collective is cross-disciplinary, finding its place at the intersections between art, performance, dance, music and literature. Through the establishment of a performative situation, the project seeks to break certain common codes of thought and to push the audience to reflect on questions of origin and social class. Through the use of simple language, albeit in a complex configuration, it aims to address a wide, multicultural, multilingual and diverse audience.

The title plays with notions of duality, mimicry, synonyms, twins and lookalikes. It examines the question of concrete physical resemblance as well as the invisible one of character resemblance.

The scenography is composed of an installation mixing paintings of white and black characters on a plain background, objects collected from the city where the work is presented, a text broadcasted on loudspeakers, a soundtrack played live and a choreography interpreted by performers dressed in second-hand clothes. All stages of the collective work are documented before and during the performances by a photographer and a videographer, with the aim of broadcasting this archive.
