Is it possible to “maze maze” identity?

The concept of “identity” can be used as a tool for self-rediscovery and a catalyst to ponder deeply about humanity and society. However, it can also be utilized for personal gain or exploited for political reasons. Within the performing arts, performers often portray characters which differ from their real-life identities. However, there is a recent shift whereby this can be seen as a form of cultural appropriation. How do we portray another person’s identity or maze maze (mix up) different identities? How can we approach these issues? Drawing on real-life examples, we invite you to discuss this complex topic together.
