What's it about?

Two performers explore the theme of stereotypical beauty based on their different life realities. Beauty - a fleeting glance, a breath, a sound, who weaves the norms that hold you, shackle you, carry you? Who says what remains, what passes, what drives, what pulls? One body, bent by life, young in desire, another - young or old in its scars, strong and fragile at the same time. The wheelchair - it circles, it tips, it glides, sometimes light as a leaf, sometimes heavy as a burden, a wheel that turns, a path that opens, a frame that holds - a frame that breaks. A dance tells of lust, of love, of longings, of wounds that carry, of shame that passes. And somewhere in between stand royal children, too close and too far, free or trapped?
