“I'm sticking with you 'cause I'm made out of glue” (Lou Reed)

Keren Levi is teaching at the Theatre School in Amsterdam for both the choreography department (SNDO) and the modern department (MTD). She is also teaching company classes for Sasha Waltz & Guests (Berlin) and Ultimavez (Brussels), but also participates in festivals and training programmes across Europe.

Ugo Dehaes started at P.A.R.T.S., the school for choreographers and dancers organised by Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker. He often works as a dancer/actor for installations and movies.

In the creation of Couple-like, Keren and Ugo had to deal with the initial discomfort of not knowing each other while working on what can be described as a "physical" piece. By starting from kinaesthetic propositions they explore different types of physical interactions which propose couple-like situations. These couple-like situations are never played out but are emerging through the eyes of the observer who is invited into their intimate world of trust, friction and tenderness.

Couple-like is a journey of two people searching to be 'as one', of two strangers who are trying to meet over and over again, and of Ugo and Keren facing each other, observing in the other what each of them is not.
