Together, they divide the world into two playful and ridiculously arbitrary categories: on one side, dolphins, and on the other, unicorns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What follows is a kind of fascinating ritual, like an attempt to create a performance together, collectively, constantly disrupted by the frantic search for the other\u2019s gaze, for their approval. At times, the performers also allow themselves the luxury of being authentically themselves: embracing their flaws, their fragility, turning their skin inside out like a glove to examine its seams and loose threads. These frantic back-and-forths between Self and Other place the dancers in a precarious balance.
