DUET LOVE plays with our precious notions of hetero-romance by examining the desire for stability, recognition and narrative structure of two bodies on stage. Choreographer, Tahni Holt and four dancers use iconic images of famous couples as the driving force to disrupt and question how gendered bodies are portrayed in images and in performance. The four performers are a team of researchers, harvesting movement amid attachments, associations and sensations toward romance, narrative and iconic images.
