Evening of two duets, thematically related in their contemplation on time, desire, ideal, love, loss and death.

METAMORPHOSES 2°: No-place

This no-place is marked by inherent impossibility, but it nevertheless exists as an entity of desires, as the original human phantasm, stretching out into two directions – it is individual’s founding act, the neuralgic junction of performances propelling personality constructs, and it also stands for individual’s projection into the future, an ideal that this individual strives for. It is because of this no-place that life is never what it chooses to be, but at the same time allows it to be exactly what it is. As such, this place is inherently utopian by nature.

LOVE IS THE ANSWER, WHAT IS THE QUESTION?

A night of crisis; the crisis may be personal and global at the same time. A man and a woman stage fragments that seem to emerge from their lives, their loves and their potential deaths. Role alternations underline the tension between subject and the object, between the imaginary and the real. It confronts emptiness, embodiment of moment’s hopelessness and the attempt to push off, to bounce off to the other side.
