Why are you always so sensitive when it comes to us and cynical and ruthless when it comes to the other?”

With the language of contemporary dance, the show is proposed as an opportunity to appear in the home of a man and a woman who, in a world that pushes the autonomy to the affirmation of the individual, decide to marry the difficulties of this century remaining united. The project was born from the urgency to work starting from the personal experience of the two performers, subjecting themselves to the gaze of others. Through the use of a computer, the performers experience the control of music and lights directly from inside the scene.

Authors’ notes

If every time we saw the smallest human failure as the failure of all perhaps we would consider the possibility that there is no need to be selfish, that the ego does not develop human qualities but implodes them into great pain. From this comes the urgency to work starting from our personal, from us and from our life as a couple. We cannot but notice how society conditions our relationship, a society that leads to divide rather than unite and that induces us to live the day to day. In the difficulties of this era the other becomes even more cumbersome, even more a burden, but at the same time the only trusted embrace in which to take refuge, the only support that can understand you sincerely. As a reaction to all this, we decide to live together and to face all the problems that living together today involves, bringing with us all the impulses, all the manias, neuroses and inconsistencies of the outside world. We look for all that we have forgotten about ourselves and the other, we let things happen and once found we try to enlarge them and highlight them in all their fragility. So music and lights are managed from the inside, our house becomes a stage space and everyday life becomes a performance.
