Luxury is an art- dance project taking place at a unique juncture between contemporary dance and painting. Both authors appear as performers and exhibitors, communicating their creative processes with each other and the audience. The work involves dance material and an exhibition of paintings both of which were made one after another or one because of the other, body as a mobile object that responds to the immobile subject of the painting and the other way around. 

Luxury is a visual discourse that questions many years of friendship, the artists’ current physical distance, but also the connection that persists despite that distance. How does communication become more than just a way to stay in touch and how does it create a new language, one born from an inside rather than an outside.
