Dubbelgangers (2019) - sound design

Sound design for Dubbelgangers by director Ada Ozdogan and writer Eva Jansen Manenschijn.

Dubbelgangers (translated as Doppelgangers) is a melodramatic theatre piece in which three characters are stuck on a beach house veranda in a film noir universe. The actors relive the same moments over and over again, until one of them steps out. It’s a critique on the myth that anything should be feasible and constructed, even when it comes to your own identity. Driven by a shared affinity with the absurd, the makers question what the promise of the ‘makeable’ human has really brought us.



Dubbelgangers was produced by Theater Rast and premiered at Podium Mozaiek in Amsterdam in 2019.
