Universal Romance

Are romantic stories a mirror of life, or a construct of reason?

Two performers dissect love like a laboratory specimen — from their own experiences and fantasies they compose a story about a man and a woman who should hate each other in order to love each other. But the more they analyze romantic clichés, the more dangerously they become part of them. Before the audience's eyes, fiction alternates with authentic testimony, irony with tenderness, theory with physicality. A hybrid emerges — a musical on the border of a scientific symposium, which constantly destroys its own illusion — and brings it back to life.

The performance subjects not only love stories to analysis, but also the desire to believe in them. Because perhaps people don't long for love itself, but for its story. And perhaps that is the greatest temptation.
