About the performance
It is their brilliance, their virtuosity, and belief that the human body has the power to express emotion. They are not afraid to feel, perform, sweat and risk. The substance of this performance is the Body we do not know. It is not about knowing at all. This Performance is a mapping device for the landscape of the Unknown. It is not what we premeditate, what we conceptualize. It remains rather a mystery. It is about their body on the edge of the Impossible. Where too much is not enough for being on stage..  It is about daring to disagree with the agreement to entertain.
