Interesting article Lillian, and I am really looking forward to seeing the play in February! I will add to Vania’s point above, and use the opportunity to name drop Dostoyevsky’s ‘The Double’. Here a government official slowly goes mad as he keeps on meeting his exact duplicate. His double is a cooler version of himself.

In reply to Vania. Thank you Vania for your interesting point. Indeed, one does not need a genetically identical copy to be confronted with oneself.

Besides the phenomenological point of view, your analysis made me immediately think of the psychoanalytical discussion on otherness and the concept of “the double”. I wonder if the author had Freud’s idea of the Doppelgänger in mind when writing the script. 🙂 Anyway, great work. It seems something that could lead to a very interesting discussion.
