What songs may do...
This contemporary dance duet celebrates love in all its diversity. Intense, poetic and emotional, the piece
examines and exposes the fractured relationship of a once romantic couple as they delve into their
past in an attempt to rebuild their future together. Through Nina Simone’s music, the piece shines a
light on our deep-rooted connection to memories through music and proposes the power of what songs may (actually) do.
