Julio César Iglesias Ungo once again ventures into an existential twilight zone. For the first time he teams up with his former Ultima Vez colleague Helder Seabra to create this duet. They soon find themselves caught up in a perpetual cycle of endeavour and failure. As if stranded, they struggle with the space, which seems to shift with each movement until it threatens to collapse. They generate an energy with their movements that spills over to the spectators and fills the entire room. Through it all, the only constant is uncertainty.

Julio César Iglesias Ungo worked as a dancer with Ultima Vez by Wim Vandekeybus, Samir Akika and Renegade. He choreographed numerous works, among others in Cuba, Colombia and Mexico, for the Bolshoi Dance Festival in Moscow, Unusual Symptoms, Pottporus and Renegade. Helder Seabra, also a former Ultima Vez dancer, created a piece for a double evening with Johannes Wieland at the Theater Kassel in 2018 and choreographed his first full-length production in Germany for the Theater Bremen in the 2018/2019 season.
