Milla Koistinen, Paul Valikoski and Ladislav Zajac join together, bringing their respective backgrounds in choreography, music and visual arts in the performance Pas de deux #1 – Constructing Love. Two people are led through a passage of encounter, separation, unification and ultimately, exit. Simple objects and sound invite interaction from the pair, which generates a distinctive choreography, and allows for individual reflection and shared moments. The performance is based on a question of the philosopher Alain Badiou: “What kind of world does one see when one experiences it from the point of view of two and not one?” The performance offers the audience a unique opportunity to explore the complex themes of identity, love, and power dynamics through a dynamic and engaging performance.
The performance can be experienced in pairs for a time slot of 12 minutes. It is a performance that can only take place if two (and only two) viewers come together in the same location at the exact same time. Additionally, it won't happen unless they fully immerse themselves in the world the artists have built for them.
Pas de deux #1 – Constructing Love is the first part of a series by Solistenensemble Kaleidoskop, a Berlin based group of musicians and performers.
