For this original dance production, a custom-made, articulated silver frame carries the performers’ movements. The dancers’ bodies rub against one another. Slowly stripped of their clothes, they collide, rock, intertwine – progressively merging into one.

The frame is a reference to conventional family / wedding pictures – i.e. to portraits commonly found in most households. The architectural gesture, both poetic and strong, remains simple in its devices – a foundational act, if you will, representative of Tatiana’s signature & overall identity.
