In Alter Ego, Godani once more pursues his artistic passion: the endless possibilities of metamorphosis in his choreographic work. It is a creation in which choreographic language has been set free, beyond known parameters: it is the opening to a new mode of perception. Human bodies manifesting animalistic characteristics create a universe of strange creatures: animals, half human and half insect, interacting and communicating with each other. But not stopping on all these transformations the choreographer continues on, enhancing the human body with angular shapes, thereby expanding aesthetic boundaries. This wide variety of animalistic beings inhabits the stage in Alter Ego while an innovative form of communication is established between the performers, who are discovering and engineering the space through the choreography. A choreographic conversation happens when the disturbing gaze, gestures, stops, pauses and non-achieved actions create a communal language between the creatures. Silence and stops are present during this general dislocated feeling: not only is space brought out of joint, so is time.
