The Unpracticality of Beauty
This duet is about the universality of being a woman, her relationship to her inner women, inner men and ancestors. It also exposes her strength, her fragility, her hips, her hair – it all seems to be complex and often rather unpractical.
Tender Violence
This second duet explores the public, physical display of manhood, and how it differs majorly from culture to culture. This social arena is filled with unwritten rules, cultural norms, deep friendship, violence and unexpected intimacies.
