Wearing skin-tight playsuits, Aloun Marchal and Henrique Furtado weigh each other up, stare each other down, stand firm in the middle of the stage and let out a cry from deep inside : the challenge is laid down. Face to face, close to each other, conniving and provoking at the same time, they are getting ready.

The pas de deux glides from controlled violence to sensuality, which are both disturbingly based on listening, mimicry and exchange of movements.
