Geometric archetypes come to life in combination with performers, the costumes emphasize gender and energy, sculptural shapes being animated and merged with the human body. Both Utas represent the principle of celebrating life with exuberant costumes, parties, wearable sculptures and multidisciplinary creations. The triangular female comes to life through movement with gestures, spins, poses and interaction with the Male Energy counterpart. Both performers dwell in their own energy fields, expressions until their encounter builds interest and tension.The performance ends with a balance of both energies. Triangle Woman symbolizes the female human with the Triangle, standing for Divinity, Trinity, the Uterus, Female centeredness, Energy and the power of procreating and growing life.The Male stripes character is adorned with spiral shapes, drop shapes and a phallic head piece embodying eternity, the seed of life and male energy.
