ADAM & ADAM
ADAM & ADAM is a piece about the destiny of two men whose paths keep crossing. Nomatter how hard they try to move away from the other, their destiny (Karma?) is that they always be drawn back to each other.
ADAM & ADAM is a tragic-comic piece telling stories in a non-lineair imaginative way. They will dance and play through the self-inflicted difficulties, which they impose upon each other and themselves.
ADAM & ADAM is not a story about the beginning.
ADAM & ADAM is not a story about two twin brothers.
ADAM & ADAM is not a story about a schizophrenic person.

ADAM & ADAM is not a story about young and old.
ADAM & ADAM is not a love story.
ADAM & ADAM is not based on a true story.
