"Simulacrum" is an exercise in intimacy, repetition and resistance. Two bodies in continuous action explore the limits of their proximity through the degenerative nature of the gesture. A diffuse space is created between the real and the staged, between the public and the private, enhancing states of vulnerability, expectation and tension. "Simulacro" is based on a set of actions and gestures present in the daily lives of the two performers, crossed by fragments of shared memories, in a slow exercise of transforming bodies and their drives.
