The director’s and performers’ research with unusual means on the delicate relation and balance between a man and a woman is embodied in a love story of eternal lovers that annihilates all hardships of today’s world, abolishing religious and social prejudices and wiping (off) the boundaries of conventionality in the struggle for personal happiness. One body, two hearts that beat as one and the ceaseless fluctuation between life and death, dreams and reality – their love is a fragile experience of fleeting eternity. The balance between the everyday and the ethereal, the actual and the abstract.
