LOVE-LOVE
LOVE-LOVE is a dance theatre duet inspired by the worlds of tennis and war, created in response to the idea of “absolute victory.” It begins with the paradox of the word “love,” which in tennis means zero, yet also signifies devotion, transforming it into a physical language of endurance, rivalry, tenderness, and care.

UNTIL MIDNIGHT
What does it mean to have everything? What is everything?
What does it mean to have nothing? What is nothing?
And if I don’t have everything, does that mean I have nothing?
If I have nothing, isn’t it enough that I at least have something?
