How do you get close to a person, really? By being told an intimate story? By looking deep into each other's eyes? By experiencing something special, perhaps challenging, together?
The relation between the private and the public has changed radically. Today, many people are no longer afraid to share details that would previously have been considered too private. At the same time, more and more people feel lonely. The way we understand ourselves and our own lives is virtually impossible to separate from the way we present ourselves to other people. Where does the urge to publicly share intimate things come from? And what is required of a connection in order to satisfy this longing?

In this work, the dancers reveal themselves personally – with their stories, memories, wishes. And perhaps body language and dance can create a stronger connection than words alone.
