Two hot contemporary performance-makers over 40 create a steamy & sweet duet.

Theoria explores desire and yearning, friction and queer memory, tensions between intimacy and power. Firm grips and long pauses, silences where everything is clear – as clear as in Brokeback Mountain. In this duet, touch and anticipation, absence and presence form their own logic. How could theory be embodied? How could thinking sweat? 

This is a theory of how we could be.
