Them two
2019

A strong, self-willed and pleasureful duet by two women plays with stretching the
boundaries of elegant demeanor. Music drives the women leaving their sleeves
jiggling. The artwork celebrates pleasure and being carried away by rhythm. It infects also
the spectator with energetic excitement and desire to take part to the dancing.

The piece has been performed in theatrical venues as well as restaurants and
outdoor-festivals.
