‘A duet in which the gaze lingers on the invisible weaving of an intimacy not yet revealed, yet already dense, full of alliances that generate mystery. A trail of desire. This is the theme towards which the initial directions of the choreography converge, mapping out stages in relation to practices and visions, destinations and memories, while searching for a necessary level of presence – precise yet porous – in movement. Trust, necessity, wellbeing. Blurring time, closing the eyes, perceiving the origin. Ancestor. These are the suggestions that nourished the imagination and shaped the shared phrasing, the solitary actions, and the waiting, and opened thresholds between presence and proximity, between what emerges and what we are not allowed to see… Through its danced imagery, the work reveals the evolving perspectives of two individuals whose presence, although vigilant each in their own way, leans towards the need to find one another.’
