No Messing

How does what you do make you who you are?

Inspired by the writings of Tina Campt and Judith Butler, No Messing is a cheeky and colourful journey through the embodied memories of Irish siblings Patrick and Ellen.

Binary but identical, different but the same - No Messing explores how they have arrived at this point by referencing sports, clothing, and play along the way. As they play, push, drag, carry, and annoy each other they explore layers of time and transformation that have shaped them into who they are.
