Fighting

Fighting

A duet between two, a man and a woman, a dance performance that deals with the theme of struggle… Asking…

What are we fighting? 

What are we fighting for?

Who are we fighting?

What about the fight we have among ourselves? What about the fight we have within ourselves? 

Testing the ongoing perseverance, the inner conflicts and the ways we manage to carry on. 

Where conflicts resolve, true peace could be experienced.
