Assembled Identity
When twin sisters discover they are actually clones, a blood-tingling reality comes sharply into focus. An imagined scenario so plausible it’s disturbing, Assembled Identity taps into our collective unease with a tech-dominant world. Using original and found text, live cinematography, and contemporary music, this electrifying duet delves into racial ambiguity, the science of identity formation, and questions who has the authority to define it.
