Two dancers from Switzerland whose common language is English: Swiss French Kathy Hernan and Swiss German Christoph Leuenberger. They met in Amsterdam and have both lived and worked abroad for years.

By investigating their common Swiss heritage, this up-and-coming duo has produced unique, surprising images full of irony. Their «balancing act between cliché and profoundness» was awarded the 2007 Swiss patronage prize for young theatre, PREMIO. (esc)
