Human|Humane is an immersive performance art piece and an experimental documentary, where the audience members are guided to examine the idea of individuality, and emotion in the body. Behind a two-way mirror, how long can we hide from our truest selves? Using the tools of live cinematic/performance technology and a trusting room to build art by having the audience become that performance’s art. “Are we willing to look honestly inside of ourselves?” Re-examining the theory of The Mirror Stage by Jacques Lacan, the theory states there is a moment when an infant identifies their own image in a mirror. “This is who I am and I am me.”
