Two people meet in a sauna. In the silence, gazes, sweat, and breath become a form of language. A fragile utopia emerges, only to break apart under the weight of its own rituals. Through the clash of social codes, the performance questions the body’s order, its closeness, and its boundaries in the perception of the other.
Set inside a glass sauna, the piece combines text, choreography, sound, and live video to create a space where intimacy, control, misunderstanding, and desire constantly shift. What unfolds is both absurd and precise: a theatrical ritual in which the body becomes the site of projection, discipline, and unstable relation.
