Whatever is at stake, I take (working title)

Nose and mouth left home. Lost for a time, they find each other every night. After the golden hour has settled and day, preparing for bed, is sliding into a new skin, they speak in silence. They have no eyes but they touch. They whisper, negotiating in murmurs: how close should we get?

A solo duet for Now rehearsing proximity, distance and gaze. Using the actions of intimacy from Before, we try to get closer. Two body parts in one physicality, two bodies in one skin, two voices in one beat.⠀
