You Are Someone Else (Too) is an interactive performance game constructed by choreographers, Kristina Hay and Hilary Brown-Istrefi. The work delves into existential theories on behavior by playing with the influence of persona and environment over action. As the piece progresses so do the number of bodies on stage, juxtaposing the role of witness to participant.
