Wave proximity

This performance is investigating the capacity of intimacy of a relationship, the potential of trust and understanding through voice and the body. A body is our home and a voice is a part of the body that prolongs it through time and space. A voice is an abstract place of the meeting of the body and mind, memory of the past and a vision of the future. Duality of body and voice is of a particle-wave nature in which a particle creates a wave of life that allows a space and time of diving, comprehension and upswing.
Experimenting with one’s frailness and strength, performers are surrendering to each other and investigating the boundaries of body and spirit in the moment that is now, unavoidable and urgent. Interpersonal intimacy is a cause and a consequence of a wide spectre of intensive feelings and understanding of oneself, each other and their unbreakable bond.
