"We are talking of an innovative form of art that deals with the fundamental human conditions: life, death, identity, reality/fiction, sexuality, doubt, etc. Works capable of disintegrating that artistic past on which they depend and at the same time are in continuation of. I strongly recommend everyone to get acquainted with the works of Signa Sørensen while she is still a part of the artistic underground"

- Martin Arne Olafsen, Kopenhagen.dk, February 2002

Resumé: The first part of the Twin Life project took place in central Copenhagen in September 2001. For a week on end, passers-by could come visit or just take a look at a group of performers that through improvisations and influenced by the reactions of the audience, acted out the story of the sick Nika Zabrisky, her twin sister and their entourage. All the daily routines of the performers were visible to the audience. The visitors often came by several times, spent the night and took part in the lives of the fictitious characters, confided in them, or created characters of their own. Narrative layers were constructed, woven together and redefined time and time again; even including pictures and facts from the real lives of the actors.
