COUPLE-LIKE
COUPLE-LIKE
Starting from purely kinesthetic propositions, Ugo Dehaes and Keren Levi explore different types of physical interactions which propose couple-like-situations. These situations are never played out.

Never the less, the public is invited into an intimate world of trust, friction and tenderness. couple-like is a journey of two people in a search to be 'as one'  as they try to meet over and over again, observing in the other what each of them is not.

"I'm sticking with you 'cause I'm made out of glue" Lou Reed
