The duo was born of the encounter between Sophia Dinkel and Marie Goudot as performers. Between these two dancers of different ages, backgrounds and career paths, an artistic and sensitive exchange took place, touching on the status of author, performer, the female body and the relationship between dance and memory. Starting with the blank page of the stage, they sought to occupy this space with bodies, sounds and voices: to fill it and hollow it out in a ceaseless movement of ebb and flow, in order to write together the score of an absence populated by traces, gestures and memories. How do you tame the void, set it in resonance, articulate its frequencies? Using two electric guitars, in turn imaginary support and soundscape, they put their bodies to work - tuning to the strings and vibrations they manipulate, and giving shape to the narratives that animate them. Questioning their own practices, they invent a moving concert, where the slightest gesture gives rise to concentrates of experience that harmonize visual, physical and mental  space.

Since 2001, the National Center for Dance (CND) has been making recordings of its shows and educational programming and has created resources from these filmed performances (interviews, danced conferences, meetings with artists, demonstrations, major lessons, symposia specialized, thematic arrangements, etc.).
