Meet the artists after the show on 22.11

This time, Alexandre Vantournhout and his sidekick Emmi Väisänen draw on our everyday gestures to create their performance.

By deconstructing and reinventing our everyday movements - a handshake, a stroll as a couple, the way we cling to handrails on public transport - in three tableaux, they create a sensible analysis that grows in complexity to form a hypnotic dance each time. The connection between bodies is a constant feature in this uncompromising investigation, forcing the two dancers to work in complete complicity. The upshot is a frenzied virtuosity from which a tantalising sensuality emanates.
