TRIAL. In this duet, complexity and synchronicity seem inseparable when two men move harmoniously together. Quick impulses and detailed hand movements swiftly follow each other in this crystalclear presentation. Homogeneously they find tranquillity in their conformity between each other. However, small gestures and tensed actions hint at an underlying friction. Boundaries slowly start to appear and gradually grow stronger. In fear of staying behind a battle arises in which the men start to compete with one another. Pushing, challenging and ultimately racing till they lose each other and evolve into two separate identities.
