I made this performance with one of the most appreciated contemporary hungarian female artist Ágnes Verebics. Our action reacts on inner tensions caused by society and gender-role. The match does not want to highlight the aggresssion of the box-fight, rather focuses on the presentation of duel in everyday life.
