Imagine a world where every conflict is played out in the form of a duel – in which every argument appears to be a matter of life and death and arguing is a question of honour . . . The duel is the underlying figure of Agata Maskiewicz’s work. In a series of stereotypes and imagined images and scenes of fighting women, two dancers appear opposite one another and challenge each other and the audience to pay attention to the fine differences: to the moments of change that turn an argument into a duel, a game into a dance.
