Perfect aesthetics: Two bodies appear between two glaring tubes of light and disappear again, showing up a second time before dipping back into the dark, creating bizarre images, staging shifting perspectives and suggesting weightlessness. In a quiet, worn rhythm, you lose yourself in watching.
Philippe Chosson and Pep Garrigues from the Swiss dance company Philippe Saire show an almost unearthly harmony and elegance.
The dance is full of references to art history and quotes from the Renaissance to the Modern Age.
