A duet for a city that is not there...

Under a virtual sky, a man and a woman sit at the table and engage with the idea of an ancient city... This invisible city turns into a cabinet of wonders that the performers of this dance carry at the trays of their bodies.
Madalena Victorino, once again, mixes objects and dance in a beautiful and sensitive way.
