SUMMARY:Let this unique physical performance about desire and betrayal capture your imagination
DESCRIPTION:How much remains hidden between lovers and friends? And what responsibility do you take for your own actions? \nOn November 28 and 29\, DeLaMar in Amsterdam invites you to enjoy a poetic physical performance titled We Don’t Live Here Anymore that will challenge your reasoning as well as your imagination. \nFollow the story of two couples\, seemingly closely connected\, as they become caught up in a web of desires\, guilt\, and betrayal. \nIs it pure passion\, an escape from the mundane\, or a deep emptiness that drives them?
