Two young dancers meet in an intimate battle.
Who supports who? Who is the stronger part? Who is the weaker? Do they stand up for each other? Or are they the death of each other? Do they bring out the good in one another or do they amputate each other?
In the dynamic Couple-Like #2, two young dancers enter into an intimate struggle with one another: holding on or letting go, supporting or dropping? This production seems like a long, loving embrace, then an endless, exhausting wrestling match. Together with two dancers from Theatergroep DOX, choreographers Ugo Dehaes and Keren Levi adapted their successful duet Couple-Like (2006) for young audiences. Couple-Like #2 was awarded the Zilveren Krekel (Silver Cricket) 2011 for most impressive production.
“A physical, suggestive and confronting take on friendship, for the first time ever performed for a young audience.” (Volkskrant ****)
Volkskrant, 2010
“…the strongest story will always remain the story of two lovers. A story often told, but hardly ever as breathtakingly beautiful as by Keren Levi and Ugo Dehaes.”
Theatermaker, 2007
