By plunging into a surreal world, this piece guides the audience through a personal journey in which the unfolding of the past enables the present.
This dance duet explores the concepts of personal space and identity. Drawing inspiration from their own lives, Marie and Paula relate personal memories through text and images. Their desire is to connect and communicate with each other, gradually constructing a relationship that evolves into building almost one unique body.
