2012

Monique is a dance duet. Mark drags and pulls. Alix carries and pushes.

Keep it tight. Bring the short end up vertically. Insert it through the front loop you just created, running along the top of the main line and pull to tighten.

Little by little, the space gets filled, passed through by luminous and resounding air.It agitates you, it...
