Great friendship always has something about love, exclusive, immediate, alchemy as inexplicable as carnal desire. __Virginie Despentes
DOS, which could have been called LOVEBIRDS or LOS DOS FANTASTICOS, explores the necessity of the link and makes the body the territory of the relation. The stage becomes an observation ring where the two artists play with their dissonant bodies in an assembly of shifted combinations. Sometimes they touch or caress each other with brotherly candor. They do not speak but hum an inarticulate language.
Delgado Fuchs displace here their usual binomial for a new tandem between Marco Delgado, dancer, and Valentin Pythoud, acrobat carrier. The complicit movements of these two performers swell with intensity on the backdrop of a hit by Erkin Koray, a hairy superstar of 1970s Anatolian rock, adding a touch of psychedelia to the ambient instability. Marco Delgado and Valentin Pythoud become their heroes, from the improbable to the obvious.
« DOS follows the principle of all our previous creations: to play on the clownish figure and the register of the equivocal. To probe with casualness and an apparent naivety various modalities around the body: its hyper-awareness, territory populated with humor and its troubled plasticity. »
