A dancer navigates the periphery of a circle, working through systemised patterns of walking and reversing, back and forth.

Created with and for dusk, Għabex researches the relationship between body and planetary time, wondering about the ways in which time speeds up and slows down in relation to subjective experience. 

This work premiered as part of Dance Festival Malta, following a research residency at ŻfinMalta in 2025.

Contained within the geometry of a circle, two performers unfold the gesture of the embrace. The pull of the embrace transforms into a push: grounded by images of geological formation, weathering, tectonic shifting, tension and release.
