Description
Deal with Me is a performance about identity, trust, and relationships. The autobiographical solo piece is choreographed and performed by breakdance artist Pontus Linder.
The four sections of the solo explore and reflect on positive needs, uncertainty, frustration, and hypermasculinity. Abstract movement sequences, with influences from breakdance, contemporary theatre, and physical theatre, blend seamlessly with audience interaction and humour.
