Designed for museum spaces, this performance is made up of a series of duets that explore a particular way of dancing together. The dancers grasp each other’s bodies with the folds of their own bodies: neck, hips, inside of elbow or knee, wrists and ankles. By avoiding the predominant use of the hands, they enter into a conversation that brings into play the most sensitive and vulnerable parts of the body. In this way, they thwart any stereotypical reading of the relationships between the bodies, evoking in turn plants, rocks, animals, fights or embraces.
