45min. Duet
The bodies of a man and a woman continue their investigation into the opposing forces and states of equilibrium that emerge in their interaction… They work on scale, and use the body as a measuring unit, measuring the space and the relation of bodies to that space. But the body itself, too, can act as a surface and a floor, which may even be walked upon.
“The idea of scale, conceived the idea of creating/performing the space over sound. The sound turns into an element to identify the space.
The relation of the voice-body-movement is experimented based on the image of “the lips don’t touch” (a pin replaced between the two lips); the improvisation technique used by poet singers in folk songs tradition in Anatolia.”
