Description Two bodies glowing as if made of liquid metal explore each other’s contours in the darkness. Shaved heads and naked torsos offer an intimate celebration of the body; the dance shifting from formalised patterns to uncontrolled corporeal explosions. This mystical pair are American Shamel Pitts and Brazilian Mirelle Martins. Pitts danced with Tel Aviv’s Batsheva Dance Company for many years. He met Martins while teaching Ohad Naharin’s trademark movement language in New York.
