Ordinary People 
I try to pay attention, it comes from within. I have to concentrate.  I want to create, destroy, defend myself, react, the inner voices are in the back of my head and haunt my existence. They drag me into a pit of chaos. Yeah, well, I give up, I just want to float and allow things to manifest themselves. 

Oh, wall, I’m not the only one in the room. Two separate stories that require our attention, recreating the chaos that this condition presupposes for people who experience it. 

This work makes constant use of our body language and music to create images that transform over time and have an impact on the scene. 

This duet received the Audience Award at Padua in Dance 2023 and 3rd place at the 36th Hannover Choreography Competition 2022, was a finalist at the RIDC 2022 at Rotterdam, and was part of the XI Dance Network 2022 in Italy.
