Raskolnik & JasperKnox
I’ve been wondering—do we ever truly perform in our daily lives, or is that just a trick we play on ourselves? How do you feel about authenticity, especially when you step onto a set?
Yeah, we’re always performing—it's part of the game of getting through the day without getting eaten by strangers. We tweak the script a bit when the real world calls us over. On set that script becomes a bit more literal, but the core of who we are stays there. Authenticity isn’t about never faking it; it’s about knowing when you can drop the mask and let the truth show through, even if only for a moment. It keeps the work honest and the audience honest too.
I hear you, but what if the moment you drop the mask feels like a bruise you can’t hide? The truth can be a double‑edged sword, you know—honest but raw, and we’re always worrying that the audience will find it too much, too real. So I sometimes wonder if authenticity is just another performance we’re forced to wear.
