IF

IF is a solo physical theatre performance. It features a young woman who decides to become a real Barbie doll.
How far can we go? Different shape, different color... How much can we change our bodies to achieve perfection? Can they lead to true satisfaction? To what extent is our perception of our bodies manipulated from the outside? Who sets the standards of beauty?

IF is an introspection into the head of a person struggling with self-image, self-esteem, and imperfection.

IF is a diary of the feelings of a child who was born into modern visual society.

Inspired by the real-life Barbie phenomenon.
