Acting Out: Stephen Dwoskin Synopsis

Acting Out: Stephen Dwoskin is the latest addition to artist Philomene Hoël ongoing series of works playing with the dynamics of her personal relationship in unexpected staged encounters.

Part interview, part therapy session, the work creates a shifting power play of fiction and reality, staging and improvisation, pulling at and revealing the nature and tensions within a set of real relationships.
