SEEING DOUBLE

SEEING DOUBLE is an homage to spooky late-night double features, a cerebral marathon that keeps the audience on edge through vivid surround sound and optical illusion. These two performances are strange sisters that sneak pulpy speculative fiction aesthetics into uncharted conceptual territories.

Stripping psychological horror down to its bare bones, Walking at Night by Myself confounds the senses with an audiovisual blitz that undermines the reliability of perception and transforms a nighttime walk into something far more sinister.

K BODY AND MIND is a maximalist sci-fi odyssey brought to life through minimalist and machinelike theatricality. Set in a dystopian future, a security specialist yearns to escape the ravages of sickness and war by starting life over in a bioengineered body. But when a hostile entity invades, she must confront a ghost from her past in this cyberpunk multimedia experience.

With a creative team with roots in Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, and the Philippines, and with storytelling and design influences pulled from 90s anime, second generation K-pop, and the femme monsters of Asian horror…SEEING DOUBLE is what you get when a group of Asian diaspora kids come together to explore the farthest reaches our imaginations.
