BACKGROUND
Eric Gauthier, artistic director of the Gauthier Dance Company in Stuttgart, invited eight leading international choreographers to create eight pas de deux for his company: eight duets, eight world premieres. The title of the show is Deuces, an English term for cards or dice with a value of two.
MUSIC
A poem by Sara Kellie, entitled “We’re on Fire”, has been set to music using the voices, breaths and sounds of the dancers’ mouths. Moving slowly from low to high frequencies, the music runs parallel to the physical and spiritual enlightenment of the characters in the pas de deux.

TEXT
WE’RE ON FIRE
Sara Kellie
Lipstick kisses,
we’re both wearing red.
I motion her over and onto our bed.
Blood red smeared across our lips.
I keep her enticed, I straddle her hips.
Seductively playing,
I’m touching my lips.
Long acrylic nails,
for us never fails.
I show her a dildo and
she gently wails.
She’s waiting,
my sweetheart,
I lust her so much.
We fuck, we’re on fire
and I wonder,
which of us holds the power.
I, in all honesty is hoping it’s her,
‘cause then I’ll continue this life
in her beautiful blur.
