Should I Do the Man's Part
(2021)

https://www.ernestynaorlowska.com

A duet for a tall woman and a short man. The visual artist and performer Ernestyna Orlowska is 188 cm tall, while the former circus performer Daniel Klingen Borg measures 165 cm. There are 23 cm between their crowns. This small difference puts the masculine in femininity and the feminine in masculinity up for discussion. Who would take the male part in a classical dance setting? What do these bodies have to say in this constellation? Orlowksa and Klingen Borg encounter each other beyond normative gender roles and binaries, understanding their bodies as material that is subject to interpretation. Playful, tender, sincere.
