Two performers face each other, their gazes permanently interlocked. Each is positioned inside one of two non-concentric circles painted directly on the floor. As one performer moves, the other must alter their position to maintain a constant distance, following the performance instructions. But the circles are not concentric and the distance cannot be kept the same, so at some pint the performers must start over, in an endless game of continual negotiation.

First performed at La Verrière, Brussels (2017)
