There is a couple. Two bodies. Two beings. 1+1. Sometimes it feels like only one. This film piece wants to explore aspects of a relationship through movement, through the bodies of the performers. The unfathomable distance between two people. Broke but never broken.

Director Statement

Things repeat. Events, time and damage.
For some time the idea of presenting a space of memory was in my head, but it wasn’t until last year when things got together. Called it a virus, a pandemic relationship, sometimes even love.

The kind of love that hurts and damages. I got involved with someone and in that relationship we eroded the other. We pushed and pulled until we had nothing left.

This piece was born out of collisions. The curiosity to do something less narrative and to search inside a personal experience. This is a bodily expression of a moment. An attempt to understand and feel again.

Things repeat.
