A duet at home. Evening time. Gender expectations, habits, and dynamics of pushing and pulling all shape the bodies in this intimate dance piece. The lines that differentiate between domestic intimacy and studio rehearsals are blurred. The choreographic language explores actions of pushing, pulling, leaning, and hanging, morphing the interaction that takes place between the couple from a close and intimate one to a restrictive and confining one, leaving hardly any space to escape.
