The starting point for performance is the question: when you involve into a relationship with someone you are actually with him/her or only with the idea that you have about your partner? The poetic images show how relationships distort under the influence of time. A man is confronted with the image of "masculinity" that woman had created. A performance Closeness is the result of cooperation between the dancers of Dance Theatre Zawirowania and Slovak choreographer Tomáš Nepšinský.
In the common area each of the performers, who are also a choreographers, tells its own story, looking at the same time close to another person. But how a woman can "really" meet with a man, if in every situation she creates him? The undeniable hero of "Closeness" is a man (Simon Osiski), "created" by the woman (Karolina Kroczak, Elwira Piorun), made by their hands and body movements, uncertain in search of itself. Finally left alone with his physicality, the fingerprints of women who want him. Where it ends HIM-feminine vision of manhood, and where begins HIM-a-man? Or maybe beyond imagination, there is nothing? This question remains open.
