Three Dogs explores the shifting landscapes of identity through the lens of Freud’s id, ego, and superego. Three dancers wear masks embodying different canine species: the Labrador as innocence, curiosity, and naivety (id); the Doberman as order, reputation, and desire (ego); and the Rottweiler as aggression, violence, and pleasure (superego). Together, they weave a choreography that questions how instinct, control, and morality wrestle within us—sometimes in harmony, often in conflict.
