Molt is a movement-based performance that seeks to disrupt the seemingly inevitable dualistic understanding of reality. Rather than adhering to the traditional binary framework that separates one entity from another, the performance aims to create a unified whole, constructed through the multiplicity of elements: two performing bodies (Dauri and Stertz), a single costume (designed by Pittakos), a layered soundscape, live projection, and the spatial context in which the performance unfolds. Essential to Molt is the costume, which fuses Dauri and Stertz into a single, this binding is both physical and symbolic, representing a shared existence within the constraints of the costume. The performers, through their intertwined movements, challenge the boundaries between self and other, inside and outside, unity and separation. Moltis aims to be not only a physical performance but a poetic meditation on connection, division, and the spaces in between.
