Who are we? What determines our identity? Is it our own perception and definition of who we are? Or is it the way others perceive us, the way society perceives us? Hero examines and plays with the myriad of facets of a personality.
Tibo Gebert starts from his own queer biography with its coming outs and transformations. He overlays it with the myth of superheroes in order to encounter split identities in the play of stage..
Nobody knows what lies behind a mask or beneath a suit. There is a suspicion, a possible clue, a theory about an experience, an incident … A possibility.
In his very distinct visual language Tibo Gebert hints at our reality, our hopes and yearnings, our fears and wishes.
A world of associations that touches us in our own personal story.
Hero is a visually strong contemplation of invisibility and becoming visible.
