About the show
The duet brings together two diverse bodies that deal with their daily movement in a different way.
The dancers Tomer Navot and Shmuel Dvir Cohen, who are dealing with a neurological physical condition of dystonia.
As long as they are faithful to the connection between them, the power, the tensions, the dependence and the weight will shape them in a different way every time.
Will they meet their search for a balance between form and emotion?
The piece was born out of the work SHAPE ON US that was created for Vertigo- Power of balance in 2020 and these days is developing into a piece in itself.
