STILL LOVE

Csenger Szabó (HU) / Fenia Chatzakou (GR)

Performance
Duration: 40 min

Still Love is a duet about relationships. Our individual stories come into dialogue through physical interaction in a playground-like environment. We play games to relearn and to reinvent our love. A landscape of states emerges where both individuals respond instinctively to each other as well as the environment. The characters develop a movement language that emanates from their curiosity to understand and communicate with each other. They engage with different coloured atmospheres where listening is at the foreground of their relationship.
