SARAH BALTZINGER and ISAIAH WILSON refuged themselves in an off-grid residency in ireland away from any distractions and people. in a cottage without internet connection and no outside influence, the two artists had time to fully immerse themselves in the creation of this sentimental duet.

MEGASTRUCTURE seeks to distance itself from the violent overexposure of the world and the alienation that comes with it to go back to something timeless. the isolation forced them to take a non filtered approach that helped them to radically take choices that they wouldn’t have made in an other, more busy, environment.

This duet is like a puzzle whose pieces are constantly being dismantled, searched for, tested and reinvented. MEGASTRUCTURE is a choreographic piece without sound composition, without decor, whose natural musicality is generated by the bodies on stage in a percussive energy.
