SYNOPSIS

“No one can doubt that things relapse. A man gets sick, and suddenly one Wednesday he relapses. A pencil in the table relapses continously. [...] Theoretically, nothing or no one would think of relapse but it is a part of it, especially because relapses happen without conscience, relapses happen as if never before.” Julio Cortazar

The Shape of a Day is a dance duet performed with sensitivity and subtlety. The piece takes the audience on a journey that brings the characteristic nuances of human behavior closer to the language of dance, while abstract movements and rhythms unite the narrative arc.
