| Festival explore dance #7
| Dance for young audience
Two men meet each other. They start challenging each other, assessing the strength of the other and seeking his weak point. Opposing forces in fight. Each wishes to conquer the other. Eventually through continuous rituals of collision their bodies soften. A new vulnerability emerges. The bodies move together, sometimes in intimate familiarity, sometimes in their own quality. Where the Boys Are playfully explores the intersection between dance and martial arts. By appropriating the vocabulary of different movement practices and styles of combat, the two performers transform the stage into an arena that negotiates masculinity and the relationship between men – between hard and soft, conflict and care, combative and fluid.
