Strong performance as technical as poetic, here Jann Gallois focuses its work around a single constraint: the extreme and permanent physical contact. Through an extremely precise choreographic composition almost architectural, she imbricates two bodies which find themselves knotted into each other and she pushes the concept of contact to the extreme in ordre to question about the basis of relationships between people.
During this piece, both artists are only one and the duet seems turning into solo.
Duality, fusion, coexistence remain the hallmarks of this piece both sweet and powerful. Alternately violent, sensitive, serious and burlesque the performers take us on a whirlwind of emotions until the expected harmony.
