“the horMoans” 

Two inhabitants from a distant land enter a turkish bath. In this place of pleasure and healing, where senses are stimulated but decorum is rule, a succession of unexpected events awakens unknown responses in their body. In an attempt to curb the untamable beast contained by their occasion wear, they find themselves exposed to the particularities of emotion and desire. The bodies escape, fall, scream, sing, whistle, sweat, stay.

This grotesque derailment of the senses that would stun anyone questions the primordial, the impulses, the places. Do they recognise where they live?

In a cold expression of human loneliness, occupying the tangent between the comic and the tragic, the ice is broken, and the bath becomes an arena. Who's watching?
