End/Less - by Fernando Dominguez
Relationships have the tendency to change. When a person grows his or her interests apart from the other, it is almost like signing the end of a contract.
End/Less is a duet that expresses how a couple fights against this situation.
How much is it needed to be forgiven in order to continue?
It reflects about any kind of relationship.
The personal story of Ahmad Joudeh will be linked as well as an inspirational motor for this creation.
The choreography will be developed within the ‘sphere system’ which Dominguez has developed in the past five years. With this system, the movements will explore the technical background of the dancers, with a sense of three-dimensional and circular/spiral movements, which will make an appealing and special dance duet.
