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.

“The movement and presence of the dancers feels like tingling on the skin: one would like to touch and follow them with movement. The boundary between performers and the audience crumbles.

And then, suddenly, a scream begins, which becomes a furious roar. The atmosphere is electrified and gets a little confused as well. We are following a primary, shamanistic ritual.”
