Are you the one? Why don't I let go? What am I afraid of? Sweat baby sweat<\/strong> starts with the most clich\u00e9d image of all: the convulsive symbiosis of a couple's relationship. A man and a woman stage this love story with athletic dance. Muscles shake and tremble as they cling to each other. It is minimalism with maximum effort. The two embrace, lift, hold each other in the most demanding positions.<\/p>\n

You and me baby ain't nothing but mammals
\nYou know you make me wanna shout

Familiar songs about love are enhanced by text projected behind the couple. Emotions are given physical life in the bodies of the two dancers, dripping with sweat and devotion. Tension builds as their physical prowess increases; will their strength, balance and stamina be enough as a couple? Their physical struggle spills over the edge of the stage and into the viewer. Thoughts begin to wander freely about all of life's big questions. What do we want? What is important when everything is stripped away? A whole life, in 60 minutes.<\/p>\n
