In a stark white setting three men are engaged in a mysterious ritual or game. They move in such a way as to appear suspicious, anxious, involved in an enigmatic exercise of power. What is happening? Something erotic, violent, rivalrous? Dominance and control are implied as they seem to be testing each other’s boundaries or perhaps looking for a way to communicate and relate to one another.

Counterpoint B is working around similar notions as Counterpoint A – here the langage is removed, and the bodies and actions of the performers are released from the implications of the narration. Both works are part of a series dealing with transformation, multiplication, shape - shifting, and re-structuring of ideas, systems

Performance / Duration: 30 minutes

A pre-recorded male voice recounts a seemingly significant occurrence. Three male performers enact the script, keeping in line with the voiceover’s direction. There are three protagonists - the man, the other man and the third man. What seems to have happened between them is never fully revealed. The gestural vocabulary evokes a range of possible narrative lines – rivalry, an erotic encounter, confrontation, violence, cooperation – none of which ever crystalize. The moment an image begins to stabilize, it dissolves, erases itself and transform into another.

Counterpoint A revolves around notions of opposing forces, conflicting ideas, and the transformations that need to take place in order for contrasting perspectives to maintain a sense of direction.
