NEVER ODD OR EVEͶ brings to the stage the result of the collaboration of two duos: Filiz Sızanlı & Mustafa Kaplan, from Turkey, and Sofia Dias & Vítor Roriz, from Portugal. In addition to the experience of more than a decade creating almost exclusively with their partner, for this project, the two duos started from the common fascination for precision, minimalism and abstraction. Through word games, voice, movement and gesture, the two duos explore ideas of duplicity and relationships in mirror. Here, they show similarities, but also differences between each pair, between each body, ideas of continuity and rupture, and a look at the artistic, social and political implications contained in this confrontation, in these dualities.
