Mirrored Spaces was a collaborative performance work that expressed the way in which chance manifests in relationships. The characteristics of the lounge setting defined the performance idea. Manipulated by the dance of Chance, a duet between Passionate Man and Femme Fatale was expressed through the music of Per NØrgård, Wolfgang Rihm, Barbara Pentland, Avro Pärt and Luciano Berio.

The resultant work invited the audience to reflect upon the complexity of romantic relationships. It developed from the artistic interaction of pianist Adam Sherkin, cellist Angharad Parkes, costume and make-up designer Andrea Romero E. and dancer/choreographers Silvia Diaz-Brown, Ana Griffith and Jorge Luis Morejón. The piece derived its richness from melding the differing creative techniques, professional backgrounds and cultural influences of the collaborating artists.
