In our modern-day existences, finding ourselves so constantly under the presence of lights has meant that we have lost all sense of the dark and darkness. Georg Friedrich Haas draws upon this observation In iij Noct, a string quartet performed in absolute darkness. Enveloping us with sound, it results in our experience of time being overturned, as well as the rhythms of our body, and our relationship with others and listening.

Born into deeply traditional families with high expectations of them, Israel Galván and Mohamed El Khatib had to adopt a variety of tactics with regards to their heritage in order to carve their own path in the world of artistic creation. Making use of their bodies as living archives, the duo of artists joins forces in the making of a "documentary dance" in which, in the shadow of their respective father figures, the intimate and the political become inextricably linked.
