When does being in love become infatuation, and when does the desire for physical closeness turn into obsession? How does projection become reality, and when does the attraction to the unattainability of the other become a source of self-destruction?
"Je veux la perfection de l'amour." I want the perfection of love. Annie Ernaux
In their duet LIEBE, toaspern|moeller explore the many states of being in love, from delusional harmony to desperate dissonance. Diary entries by Nobel Prize winner Annie Ernaux merge with choreography and song to create a virtuoso performance that explores a desire born of distance: from the touching to heterosexual clichés to the comic and the cringe. For the first time on stage together, dancer and choreographer Alma Toaspern and singer and composer Mathias Monrad Møller sing and dance their way through the poetic stage design by renowned Danish artist Christian Friedländer. In the duo's typical combination of dance and music, LOVE illuminates the tension between reciprocated feelings and the attraction of the otherness of others.
