While both dancers are in space together, each performance the dancers rotate who opens the show. Subsequently, which role they perform. Consider coming to more than one performance, sitting in a different spot, and test your own capacity of “more” with us.

D opens the Friday 530pm show.
José opens the Friday 7pm show.
José opens the Saturday 530pm show.
D opens the Saturday 7pm show.

Two beings. Two stages. Two simultaneous solos. Who are they? Where are they? What are they doing?

I haven’t found a definite answer.

My intuition tells me, both of them are me. But in this instant of performance, it isn’t. D holds their own. 

In each performance, D and I are at a club. Amidst a forest. In a gym. On a runway. Across a river. In a room, staring at the mirror. Walking towards the mirror, and away, and so beyond the mirror.

These characters are trying. They are blending what they know, what people know them to be, and what they know to be true — they are limitless. They can be anything they want to be, with no borders. They draw a space and move through it. They mix. They layer. They rest like paint on a canvas, abstractly and oh so clear for you to see. How close can you get? Will you come back to them? To see how much more they have changed? How deep into themselves they go? How much you have changed? How much more you can?

“José’s notations of the movement live somewhere between practical and poetic, a blend of metaphor and concrete steps. What is the essence of the dance?” - Emily Gastineau
