The bodies of Alexandros Vardaxoglou and Dafin Antoniadou are united in a suffocating embrace, creating a tormented, shape-shifting being that seems to come from a nightmare. Their limbs stubbornly explore the potential for coexistence, while their heads observe, lash out and seek ways to reassert their individuality. Set against a backdrop of electronic music score – by Constantine Skourlis and Stephan Richter – and vibrant, shifting lights, spider-like motions, bursts of movement and micro-movements indicate the ambiguous struggle that the two performers are subjected to in equal measure. The scene becomes a mirror of existence, reflecting our deepest fears coupled with images drawn from the human condition. This powerfully poetic and creative duet, which requires a great deal of physical intensity, introduces us to a world that lies somewhere between an imagination steeped in symbolism and a sombre reality.
