Jan Martens / A small guide on how to treat your lifetime companion
Paris, France
1 - 2 Jun '12
A couple dance in the most literal sense of the word: without leaving each other’s sides, Jan Martens and Steefka Zijlstra show five key moments in a relationship.
a small guide on how to treat your lifetime companion is a wordless moving image in an uspecified small space:
an elevator or a kitchen or a cellar or a caravan.
A revealing 30 minutes from two people’s lives in which they manage to exclude the outside world for a moment before it forces its way back in again.
With a small guide on how to treat your lifetime companion Jan Martens creates a piece about love, a tender and intimate performance both comforting and confronting.
