Double Sided * Mirrored bodies and the ethics of resonance

Double Sided, a durational performance and film series co-authored by Anto Lloveras and Mateo Feijoo, unfolds as a minimalist apparatus of delay, drift, and reflective tension, in which two performers inhabit a split stage and non-synchronized dual-screen configuration, producing a mirrored yet non-identical field where bodies oscillate between echo and divergence, refusing symmetrical closure; gestures recur with temporal displacement, creating a space that is haunted by rhythm rather than defined by structure, drawing from Beckett’s dramaturgical silence, 1960s conceptual minimalism, and Paul B. Preciado’s somatic epistemologies to expose presence as choreographic architecture rather than expressive overflow; repetition becomes the mechanism through which micro-shifts emerge, and the stage—framed by modular scenographies and neutral costumes—becomes a pedagogical field where perception is tested and subtle variance is the content itself; here, duality is not dichotomy but a method: each gesture remembers its double without replicating it, each silence holds the ghost of its twin, and what seems minimal is revealed as densely charged with affective latency and structural intelligence; Double Sided offers no narrative resolution, only a syntax of attention, in which repetition is never the same, and dual embodiment becomes a tool for learning, not mirroring—a shared yet unsynchronised vocabulary where each deviation becomes an act of critical presence.
