Sayaka and Jenny are walking through the desert, they are very thirsty. Jenny kills Sayaka, then she becomes Sayaka..s dog.
Tableau Doublé modifies the rules of the old parlour game: "Tableau Vivants", in which paintings are re-enacted by actors for the spectator to decode and recognize. Using numerous pictures, photos and film sequences as source material, the smallest movements of the two dancers' bodies create new images, and the moment of decoding is withheld. On the diamond shaped stage, in interplay with the electro-acustic sounds of composer Jetzmann, a choreography evolves that is playful and fluent, stringent and unpredictable. Images transformed into bare form confront the spectator with his/her own imagination.
