Motus is Latin for gesture – a movement that communicates an idea. Instead of using words, Tobi & Finn talk with movements and juggling. In their performance, the audience witnesses a conversation between two friends who know each other well. However, they seem to disagree on what they should do next. While one of them is very energetic and impulsive, the other approaches things more slowly and reservedly. This provokes tension between them as they try to agree on the same vocabulary. Through the exchange of clubs and movement propositions, they find a mutual language – a groove, realizing that neither one’s way is better. With common ground, they realise that a challenge can only be mastered together by using each other’s strengths and making room for individuality.
