In “If I Were You,” a couple shares an oscillating dance of intention and disruption. They move through a continuous exchange of support and potential peril, pushing themselves and each other toward self-discovery. They fall into known patterns, but desperate to shift, they beckon and reject each other, shattering and careening toward a fragile togetherness. Steeped in the unknown, they unfold a slow, exhausting, mesmerizing dance where souls wait patiently to be held, released, and resolved.
