There’s no business like show business. Melanie Jame Wolf and Teresa Vittucci explore the problems and pleasures of the question: What does it take to make a show great? Both known for their intense solo work and powerful stage presence, the two artists take a close look at popular entertainment, theater and the politics of spectacle, exploring the long held trope of the double act: its tender intimacies, its power dynamics, but also the ways in which it is triangulated by its audience and by the stage space itself.

The performance invites to critically and humorously question the tension between seeing and being seen, and examine together the poetics and politics of the show as a complex cultural phenomenon.
