The flag-canvas from the previous project "Dichotomous Flag" becomes the backdrop for the performance "Chameleon," where the magician-politician mimics empty political speeches purely through gestures. This choreographic debate is punctuated by some occasionally clumsy magic tricks.
The two twin assistants move symmetrically, tearing a "green screen" later used to superimpose fragments of archives, creating a window of reality within fiction. The chameleon constantly changes masks and postures to the rhythm of images.
