About project:
The travelling duet constantly moves. Even in constricted spaces. Based on a very sensitive and intuitive movement the two bodies are interlacing, listening and communicating with each other. Dancers take inspiration from emotional memories of relationships. Through their literal journey they touch and experience the beauty as well as the pain of shared moments with someone and try to find balance between them in difficult settings. In this one trajectory there is a storage of memories, nostalgia, melancholy, pleasure, lightness…
O projektu:
Potujoči duet konstantno potuje. Tudi kadar mu je potovanje omejeno. Dve telesi se prepletata, poslušata in komunicirata preko senzibilnega in intuitivnega gibanja. Plesalca črpata gibalni material iz čustvenih spominov, vezanih na odnose. Skozi njuno dobesedno potovanje se dotakneta in izkusita tako lepoto kakor tudi bolečino deljenih momentov z nekom, ter poskušata najti ravnovesje med njima v težkih okoliščinah. V tem enem popotovanju so shranjeni spomini, nostalgija, melanholija, užitek, lahkotnost…
