Dueto | Duelo is a concert-performance where the process of a couple's separation is narrated through songs that express what neither of them can say in words. The piece, devised collaboratively with two playwrights, questions the relevance of the "and they lived happily ever after" model in today's society. It is accompanied by a panel of mental health professionals who will provide scientific insights to the text and conduct roundtable discussions on marital relationships.
