Starting from kinesthetic propositions, Ugo Dehaes and Keren Levi have explored different modes of physical interactions in their duet Couple-Like (2006 - 2011).
After 5 years of performing the duet, Het Lab (Utrecht) commissioned Ugo and Keren to delegate the work to Martje Pasman and Ryaan Djojokarso and adapt it for youngsters.
Couple-Like # 2 is a journey of two young 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.
Couple-Like # 2 is a winner of a VCSD award 2011:
"In the performance Couple-Like # 2 the two dancers achieve poignant and ambiguous intimacy.
The performance wonderfully manage to get a sensitive issue and a delicate shape overwhelmingly across to young people”
The jury of VCSD
