A woman and a man, in a most sensual physical encounter, between fusion and confrontation. Two bodies that cannot and will not let go, for sixty minutes, in a hypnotic continuum of delicate, slow movements. This emblematic piece by Jan Martens, which has brought together Kimmy Ligtvoet and Steven Michel since 2011, explores all the variations on the theme of the loving couple: from embrace to rejection, from the vertigo of abandonment to reunion. SWEAT BABY SWEAT is an infinite kiss, a celebration of beauty. A look at love, beyond clichés, full of power and vulnerability.
