An autobiographical portrait of the love relationship between artists duo Marta & Kim. In a world that celebrates independency, they choose deliberately for interdependency.
Marta & Kim are in search of a physical metaphor of their relationship. This unfolds in an intimate, honest, almost documentary universe of what normally stays behind closed doors: the sensuality and vulnerability of becoming one body with two people. At the same time, it shows the discomfort of it: literally not being able to walk away from each other and the letting go of control and personal interest.
If ‘trusting you with my life’ is not only a metaphor, but a physical reality, then everything that is at stake becomes tangible. Do we dare to lose ourselves in a joint identity and depend on each other?

Marta and Kim are a Dutch/Norwegian duo, combining circus and dance into their performances. They are interested in human connection, which is the base for their partnering work. Playing with seemingly impossible figures that speak to the imagination, while staying in touch with the fragility of being human.
