In conversation with myself 

A dialogue between capture and release, objection and consent – a solo danced by two performers. «Soliloquy» is a duet for women or men. One version is danced by two men, another by two women. They differ in interpretation and execution. Gender colours the outcome. The two dancers visualise the urge to explore the world within oneself – accompanied by the music of Lior Navok. If nothing else «Soliloquy» is a reflection about dance itself. The everlasting dance between mind and body. «Soliloquy» is an invitation to corporal imagination.
