The work was a compelling, politically charged, and emotionally resonant experience, firmly establishing contemporary dance as an integral part of MAP mima’s performance program. 

Duel was an extraordinary exploration of power, conflict, and control, drawing inspiration from contemporary political events, particularly the dynamics of negotiation and strategy symbolised through playing cards. The incorporation of this motif into the choreography was both subtle and profound, transforming a familiar object into a powerful metaphor for political maneuvering, risk, and manipulation.
