The Spoon Bends the Beat
A singer and a dancer try to meet on two monumental spoons that bend at opposite tempos and refuse to reflect the same couple.

The story
Ily stands singing in a large magenta-tinted chrome ladle while Sol slides under an acid-green handle that folds at every offbeat. Their reflections always arrive one beat before their bodies and form a more harmonious duo than they are. The choreography gradually abandons perfect rhythm to bend both objects into a common curve, letting the performers meet outside the reflection for the first time.
