A contemporary dance duet inspired by the film Persona of Ingmar Bergman.

Two bodies strangely connected, two people trapped in an incomprehensible relationship: how did they get there? What binds them? Why can't they separate?


The depth of human relationships can be abysmal. Sometimes the bond between two people is stronger than their reason or their will, to the point where the individual loses himself in duality.

They are bonds woven by the unconscious and forged by what is hidden in the relationship itself; bonds that go beyond rational understanding because they are intuitive and often remain in the realm of intuition.

The term "person" comes from Latin and, in the context of theater, meant "mask." All wear masks and relate to others through them. They identify themselves, but also hide their deepest selves, often even from themselves.
