Cut.Loose

by Stav Marin & Neta Weiner

A physical and vocal duet about the violence and the softness of a couple, inside out, in the present place and tense.
Cut. Loose deals with relationships and power relations, traversing spheres of gender, militarism, popular culture and politics through the examination of different languages, both as separate and as combined: masculine language, feminine language, body language and spoken language.

Cut. Loose occurs in three dimensions – words, movement, and sound. The key element in this work is the knife, as an immediate means of communication, similar to the usage of a word. A square arena is the ground for the battles that are sometimes a joint practice, sometimes an act of intimacy and sometimes a fight to the death. The audience experience the rounds of battles at point-blank range, as witnesses, critics, and reluctant partners.
