Duo Work

Nine Years

Nine Years ago two friends decided to see the world. As a gift they offered theatrical presentations to the people they met on their travels. Nine years and seven hundred performances later they have returned home, the journey is complete.

For the first time Nine Years draws together Lone Twin's entire body of work. The heart of Europe, the shores of Lake Michigan, the Melbourne suburbs, the Arctic Circle and most of Switzerland are revisited in a final attempt to make some sense of the world around us.

Ghost Dance

Two performers, dressed as cowboys and blindfolded, dance a slow line dance for twelve hours. In silence the two cowboys listen to each other's footsteps, keeping in perfect time. Over the course of the day members of the public spontaneously join the dancing as the faltering, exhausted, cowboys continue. A unique community event.

‘Almost unbearable, these bodies are uncontrollable.’
