Entanglement is a choreographic duet created through experimentation with inline skates, where the unique mechanics of gliding, harnessed by the performers’ (former competitive figure skaters) precise technique and contemporary artistic approach, form an atypical dance language. Inspired by quantum entanglement, the piece reflects on mutual influence, sharing and ongoing complexification.

Oktawia and Samory are Paris-based artists creating experimental choreographic and visual works arising from in-depth gestural research with skating. Former high-level figure skaters, they use the phenomenon of glide to create singular artistic experiences. Their work has been presented by the NAC Ottawa (CAPSULE), Le Générateur and Théâtre de la Ville de Paris (inauguration).
