The Instrument
Phantom My Love
Phantom My Love dives into a nameless-intuitive, between earth and ether; where a craving for touch meets a universe of memories. An attempt to transcend physical distance; from people we love, have lost and miss. The piece unveils love - loss, action - inhibition, presence - absence and the tensions between them. These become a syntax of drives that animate and move us as humans. Power and porosity merge and the dancers collide as one inseparable body. Their embryonic connection lives within their solitude, memories and ghosts, as they are weaved in a ritual; held, embraced and surrendered.

A Lover
a stranger
a lullaby singer
a dreamer
a restless
somebody sightless

Phantom my Love,
come back to me
Phantom my Love,
lay down and sleep
