Sync unfolds within a moment of ceremony: an attempt at unification between distinct embodied forces and two bodies on stage.
Two presences embody polarities that coexist and clash: the emotional and the rational, the chaotic and the ordered. Through encounter, repetition, confrontation, and listening, the bodies traverse states of proximity and distance, alignment and misalignment, where synchronicity is not a fixed state but something unstable and constantly negotiated.
The piece thus proposes a journey toward mutual recognition, where neither force imposes itself, but rather both are needed to sustain a single, dynamic unity.
SYNC is a 30-minute performance designed for galleries, museums, and alternative spaces.
The work consists of a suspended 13 x 11 metre painted cotton canvas, illuminated by soft overhead lighting, with an open performance area where the audience surrounds and shares the space with the performers.
The audience remains present throughout the performance, witnessing the changing relationship between the two performers as they move between shared sequences, individual solos, and a final duet.
Performance area approximately 15 x 8 m
Ideal audience 40-80 people
