These pictures offer a behind-the-scenes look at Tamino's music video for his latest album's single, 'You Don't Own Me', which tells the story of oppression and freedom. The video features ten dancers, led by choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui in a house filled with sand. Tamino, representing the search for freedom, struggles to break free from the weight of the sand, symbolized by the ten dancers. They are the force of oppression; they are the concept of time. The pictures capture a dance oscillating between impotence and uprising. It portrays the dancers as a unified mass, stripped of their individual identities, supporting the unique story of the song.
