In The End, I investigate the nuances of human failure through a durational race against the clock. In this solo work, I position my body as a dual metaphor: I am simultaneously Humanity and the Earth. As the performance inches toward its inevitable conclusion, the stage becomes a site of escalating tension where the micro-actions of a single body mirror the macro-collapse of our global systems.
The performance begins with the mundane—simple warmups and routine gestures—but quickly devolves into a series of increasingly high-risk tasks. By placing myself in a state of physical and psychological jeopardy, I transform the "theatre" into a laboratory of human endurance. These actions are designed to confront the audience with a visceral ethical dilemma: At what point does the observer become an accomplice, and when must they intervene?
As the clock runs out, we are forced to reconcile with the reality that it is only in the midst of failure that we truly get to know ourselves.
