Translations
A sensitive Chinese pole duo
Together they search for balance. Two acrobats take us on a contemplative journey to reflect on relationships. This poetic pas de deux calls on us to slow down and take the time to pay attention to those around us. Is it complicity or rivalry? Is it a duo or a duel? A face-off or a way of moving forward side by side? This choreographic tandem invites us to question our humanity, and to retain the best of it: the power of our relationships.
Beyond Translations, our own friendships are looming, the ones that mark our flesh and minds, and build our personal and collective histories. A simple and sincere tribute to those we love.
