I Am. Am I is a work in progress, a human story told through movement, dance, and circus. Louiseanne explores their struggle with social norms, displacement, and unlearning how they were ‘conditioned’ in Hong Kong.

They question labelling theory – some given, some self-identifying (e.g. from-from, foreigner) – and raise awareness of social inequalities using a fridge, layers of sloganised t-shirts, light projection, and urban anti-establishment forms like parkour, art du deplacement and krump.
