A continued study from An Evening of Enchanted Alliance, Enchanted Alliance follows two hooded figures driven by mysterious personas- they are comical yet pitiful, awkward and insecure. Moments abruptly arise with confusion and misdirection. Its discomfiture is strangely seducing. The audience is mocked as they witness a distorted mirror of their own reality. The docile figures challenge questions of individual and collective identity as they are left bewildered in their own fantasy world.
