.. „The show tells and suggests that there are mental crisis that has come over both genders. They live in a century when "God is dead" or the gods have become retouched magazine covers, pop stars, Friday nights, food, instagrams and all kinds of bodily pleasures - no matter what or how they are achieved.
The structured chaos created by the two dancers on stage, the music and lyrics chosen, the emotional estrangement of Eva and Janis, dancing wild, sexual and doomed duets that only change the dynamics of motion material and move in space, but keep the viewer disgusted feeling against what you see. But maybe if you let go of this disgust, it will at the end of the show cleanse, ease, soothe and encourage you to at least pledge to be true to yourself, to take a small step toward your ideal.
