Description A story about a man and woman who0 meet by the side of a river. Amid the river's mud, they pass through the earth, water, fire and air to come to know one another. 'Even though I am a gay person, it is a piece for a man and woman. For me, gender easily illustrates on stage this search for otherness. But it's not a heterosexual story - it's about the search for alterity, for difference'.
