Reviews

"The love in this dance makes me cry. This feels as if it has been born perfect, perfection born of two imperfect creatures in a story of passion and pain."

- Get the Chance

“An intense and passionate piece” 

- South Wales Argus 

“The dynamics of that turbulent, but essentially loving relationship were beautifully and cleverly expressed” 

- Buzz Magazine 

The clever duet is performed by a female dancer and a giant silhouette of her lover.  It’s a beautiful power struggle that reflects the ups and downs of passionate relationships.  

"As the research started it became clear the piece would explore relationships and its dynamic, and how much do we influence one another. When pushing the boundaries, we can easily reach this delicate state where there is no distinction between control and surrender. The power keeps on shifting between the dancers, as a game."

- Nikita Goile, Choreographer
