Surface

CONTEMPORARY MURAL TANGO

«Two bodies in equilibrium discover each other, touch each other. They brush the surface, the surface of the wall. They tame each other, finding their balance, the equilibrium between their bodies and the wall.»

Surface is a tango with a wall. The wall becomes the tangible support for the choreography ; it is a blank sheet of paper, a canvas, upon which the story is then written.

In this piece, the dancers’ bodies lean and list, tilt and twist. They leave their print on the outside surface, they become graffiti, they create a sensual relationship with the matter supporting them, matter which is often hostile and which the body’s sensuality then modifies.
