Po-Wing tries to simplify the complex endeavour of creating a dance together by showing Fai the steps rather than leading them, thus deforming the improvised character of tango. This is no longer tango, but a mimicking of its displacements, a stablizing of the improvisation, a “following” that is known in advance […]. My body is not in movement when I still think I can predict my steps.
