Description

Hide description

Two brothers, nearly inseparable—playmates, sparring partners, and each other's closest companions. They know one another as intimately as a reflection, noticing every difference, every smallest detail. Yet that same closeness makes them eternal rivals, forever testing each other, forever probing the boundary between where one ends and the other begins.

They help one another, support one another, use one another as a tool, an obstacle, a hindrance—doing everything they can to maintain balance and avoid direct confrontation. But who, exactly, benefits from this fragile truce?

Something ancient awakens in their rivalry—an archetypal story of the boundary that unites and the boundary that divides. How much can we give and receive without losing balance? Love, loyalty, jealousy, and betrayal intertwine within their bodies. The struggle becomes as intimate as an embrace. The performance explores the boundaries between people—the impulse both to maintain them and to cross them at the same time.

Two bodies. One us
