O predstavi:

"Samo stojim in čakam, odvedno in zavedno (večno) sem tam. Potno, vibrirajoče, vrtoglavo, trdih nog, vznemirjeno in zasvojeno telo čaka nate. Končno se lahko razgalim za te. Končno se ti lahko prepustim. Končno sem lahko patetično. Končno sem lahko dramatično. Končno sem lahko banalno. In končno lahko grem preko lastnih meja ter te vzamem s seboj. Ti si nečisto in edino bistvo mojega rituala." Zelo okusen zalogaj je najprej in predvsem iskanje dolgo izgubljenega bistva, intenzitete in vztrajnosti. Je negotovo srečanje med zabavo, osebno izkušnjo v dvoje, ki raziskuje, kako se lahko plesalčeva vibrirajoča preobrazba dotakne mirujočega občinstva. Tresenje je fizičen izraz zaljubljenosti - privzeto stanje. Banalnost je skupna vsem ... Glasba je zunanja plast osebnih "ritualov". Dve 360 ° oddajni žareči telesi. Vibrirata. To ni ljubezenska zgodba!

About the performance:

“I'm just standing, waiting, since always and till always (forever) being there. Sweaty, vibrating, light-headed, stiff legged, an agitated and addicted body waiting for you. Finally I can declare myself to you. Finally I can surrender myself to you. Finally I can be pathetic. Finally I can be a drama queen. Finally I can be banal. But finally I can go beyond myself and take you with me. You are the impure and only essence of my ritual.” THE VERY DELICIOUS PIECE is first and foremost a search for the long lost essentially, intensity and insistency. It is a limbo meeting between entertainment, a personal experience in two and how our own vibrant transformation reaches a still audience. Shaking is the physical expression of love - a default state. Banality is common to all... The music is an external layer

of memorable “rituals”. Two glowing bodies radiating 360ş, exposed but detached, induce meaning through the eyes of the viewer into relationships that physically deform us and make us addicts to drama. This is not a love story!
