is a dance performance exploring the form and function of the ego in modern society, focusing on the contrast between Eastern and Western perspectives on the self. The performance delves into questions about how we relate to our ego and how this relationship is shaped by cultural and social factors. As an artist, I question the role of the individual in a globalized world where individualism and collectivism coexist. With my Thai background, I aim to embody the experience of being pulled between these philosophical directions and examine how platforms like social media influence self-perception and the pursuit of self-realization.
The performance draws inspiration from Buddhist ideas, where the goal is to transcend the ego, in contrast to Western emphasis on individualism and self-realization. Through choreographic exploration that includes bodily and textual deformations, "Me, Myself and I" invites the audience into a kaleidoscopic universe of the self.
This work was showcased as a work-in-progress during the Choreography Lab in 2021, in collaboration with dance artist Elise Austad and musician/composer Kjetil Jerve. The performance was supported by Oslo Municipality Project Funding and Dansens Hus Oslo.
