We don't want to conquer the cosmos, we simply want to extend the boundaries of Earth to the frontiers of the cosmos. We are only seeking Man. We have no need of other worlds. A single world, our own, suffices us; but we can't accept it for what it is. We are searching for an ideal image of our own world... At the same time, there is something inside us which we don't like to face up to, from which we try to protect ourselves, but which nevertheless remains, since we don't leave Earth in a state of primal innocence. - Stanislav Lem "Solaris"
Experimental, intimate and meditative duet between musician and dancer, looks at human life and relationships between ourselves and the universe.
Using instruments like cymbals, piano, violin and elements like metal, stone and skin we create a mystical space, a small universe with it's beauty, power and dangers, chaotic and unpredictable, yet everything is functioning in order and with reason.
We started our collaboration with improvising, trying to catch each others inner rhythm and impulses, this lead us to listen to the silence between sounds and movements, to notice how rich stillness can be.
In Japan there is a word MA, which means “negative space” - the space in between, interval which gives shape to the whole.
