Were you born on
January 25, 1997?

A film and performance project by tsu-tsu, looking for the people who share one exact day.

Hi, I’m TsuTsu. I was born on January 25, 1997.

I have spent years looking for people who were born on the same day as me. I call them my birthday twins.

We probably share nothing else: not a family, country, language, job, politics, or even a similar life. Just one date. I find that very strange, and I want to know who they are.

When I find one, I ask if we can meet. I want to listen to how they speak, laugh, sit, hesitate, answer the phone - all the small things that make a person themselves.
