Two dancers on stage. Chained to each other, they grow closer, then go their separate ways again in a space bathed in fluorescent light and sound. Like twins being separated. Arco Renz reveals the relation between the individual and another body: a partner, a loved one, a stranger. Renz is an experienced PARTS alumnus. He has worked on dance, drama and opera performances with big names such as Robert Wilson and Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker. Lisbeth Gruwez has made a name for herself in dance productions by Jan Fabre, Peter Verhelst and Needcompany.
