M/F

2026

M/F is a visceral journey through gender stereotypes and social conformity, where binary identities dissolve to reveal our shared humanity.

M/F explores the cracks and invisible burdens of social conformity, isolation, and the violence of cultural clichés. Trapped within gender stereotypes, two performers undergo a metamorphosis in which physical and identity-based masks gradually wear away until they break. The collapse of appearances triggers a visceral struggle—a choreographic journey in which binary divisions dissolve, making space for humanity.
