DUEL

“Duel’s witty cut and thrust plays like a surreal sitcom, straying from language lab to nostalgic dancehall as the protagonists zealously mark their territory in the court of love. Short and bittersweet, Duel is a minor modern classic.” Metro

A bilingual exploration of competitive behaviour between an Italian man and a Swiss woman, Duel won 2nd prize at the International Competition for Choreographers in Groningen, Holland in 2000 and was recreated for the Dutch dance company Galili Dance in 2001.

“Dressed in neat, emphatically pressed formal clothes, Strickler (Swiss) and Silvestrini (Italian) begin with a fast, impacted little dance that rapidly turns into a study of insecurity and bad timing” The Guardian
