Dancing on the Edge Festival 2012

this time is a duo inspired by a play about a couple and nine beams of light. Abstracted from Ken Gass’ original script, this contemporary dance work is a layered portrait of a relationship under pressure. Violent, tender and unsettling, this duo is a game of tenacity in a world full of new, unexpected and constantly changing circumstances.
