WHITE 2.0 is the second chapter of a long term research that began with WHITE, an exploration of the

creative process in its most vulnerable moment, when everything starts from nothing. In WHITE, the

focus was on a single artist facing the unknown: a dancer led blindly by the sound of a saxophone,

embodying the courage needed to face the blank page and reinvent herself. The work asked how we can

let go of what we know, how we learn to listen, to fall, and to begin again. In WHITE 2.0, the research

moves into more complex terrain: the shared journey of two artists. A dancer and a musician meet in a

fragile creative space, both searching for their own voice while having to reckon with the presence of the

other. Here the focus shifts from the solitude of the creator to the delicate balance between two

individuals. Together they move through the tension between support and resistance, intimacy and

distance, independence and interdependence. Their relationship unfolds as a dialogue: at times conflict,

at times fragile alliance, at times silence.

The performers test the limits of their connection. At times they lean on one another to find stability, at

others they push each other away with force. The research looks at how two artists, both vulnerable

and both ambitious, can inhabit the same creative space without cancelling each other out. Throughout

the piece, music and dance do not simply accompany one another. They challenge and redefine each

other. Like two strangers who meet in a desert, they listen, misunderstand, wait, and in the end discover

something new about themselves and about the other. The process of WHITE 2.0 has been a study of

trust and boundaries, voice and silence, collaboration and conflict. Both performers constantly move

between asserting their own individuality and dissolving into the shared moment.

At its core, WHITE 2.0 raises urgent questions about the creative act itself:

How do we find our artistic voice in the presence of another? When the creator’s vision extends

beyond the final product, what role do the artists involved really have? We say we live in a world of

freedom of expression, but is that truly the case? How much of ourselves are we willing to risk in

order to listen and to change? Can creation truly be a dialogue and not a monologue?

This continuing exploration reveals the creative act as something deeply personal and at the same

time inherently relational. The stage becomes a laboratory where two artists discover their

vulnerabilities, their impulses, and their ability to coexist, at times in harmony and at times in painful

contrast. At its core, WHITE 2.0 remains a meditation on the courage to begin again, this time not

alone but side by side. In this piece, music and dance are like two travellers who meet on a wide,

empty plain. At times they walk next to each other, at times they drift apart, at times they simply

exist together in silence. They listen, misunderstand, forgive and discover themselves and each

other as they move through the risks and revelations of creation. WHITE 2.0 reminds us that

creating is not only about finding one’s own voice. It is also about having the courage to listen to the

other’s voice, and to see where the two might meet.
