Body Duet is an energy-packed, highly physical dance featuring two spiritual and witty performers, New York’s Bessie Award winning Michelle Boulé and one of Ireland’s outstanding male dancers, Philip Connaughton. Choreographed by John Scott with music by dynamic US duo BLACKFISH and lighting by Eric Würtz. Body Duet celebrates the ecstatic feeling of being together, of losing fear and inhibition, and trusting togetherness. A work packed with passion, poetry, rage, humor, artistry, grace, fun – and dance.

Body Duet is an assault of dance.

Body Duet is a recovering or adjustment of circumstances.

Body Duet is three sections;

One part is a furious athletic dance of moving, beautiful bodies.

One part is a sort of rage or fight.

One part is lyrical and more formal and slightly sad.
