Two performers dance like magnets, constantly suspended between attraction and repulsion. As rhythm, repetition, light and reflection continuously transform the space between them, ULTRA WHITE gradually shifts the act of watching from observation to presence. The performance creates a hypnotic atmosphere, leaving space for each spectator to inhabit it in their own way.
“We move together. Like two magnets suspended between attraction and repulsion. Through the thin membrane surrounding us, I can still feel the audience—their presence, their gaze. Our confined space slowly fills with warmth and moisture. A strange contradiction: the deeper I sink into myself, the more intensely I sense everything beyond the foil.”
Two silhouettes drift in and out of focus behind the translucent surface. Their repetitive movement grows steadily more dynamic, while fluorescent traces on their skin glow in the darkness, dissolving the certainty of what is seen. Bodies, reflections and light merge into an image that never stops transforming.
Nothing is fixed here. Movement, light, sound and space continually reshape one another. What begins between two bodies gradually becomes an environment shared by everyone present. The rest belongs to those who enter it.
