One of them creates documentary-inspired theatre, films, and installations. The other is a virtuoso and iconoclastic flamenco dancer. By placing their first names side by side, Mohamed El Khatib and Israel Galván attempt to bridge the gap between their artistic worlds and practices as well as between their personal journeys, through a dialogue across the Mediterranean where differences prove as fruitful as affinities. Together, under the bewildered gaze of their fathers, they search for a common language rooted in the body, its wounds, and its scars. Taking their meeting and the sharing of their intimate, familial, and professional stories as a starting point, they explore – as a duo – the concepts of a living archive and a documentary dance.
