Janus

JANUS is a full-length play which portrays the moment o f the psychic disintegration o f the Roman God Janus and inner battles that ensue. It explores the themes o f gender, identity, duality, power structure and transgenderism. Through the lenses o f the divided Gods, He Janus and She Janus, who are trapped in an apocalyptic world, I used the yin and yang concept, symbol and dynamics to portray the two polarized forces that are forever opposing or conflicting but are also ultimately complementary. My approach to these themes is philosophical but I also included physical movement, farcical element and outrageous happenings to create comedic effects.
