“Everyone who falls reaches for something, a foothold, a rescue. Holding and letting go of each other was the starting point for GLG. I personally saw the performance in a sweaty and dirty rehearsal room outside Helsinki, completely without expectations. And I was captivated. By the sensual acrobatics, by the beauty of two everyday bodies’ acrobatic dance. I was moved to see how the man and the woman held and released each other, lifted each other, gave each other space and support. It’s some of the most beautiful things I’ve seen two people do on stage in a very long time. In the end, they rolled up the dance floor and built… No, I can’t reveal that. Come and see instead.” – Lars Vik
