by Eve Sussman
Sussman prompts the Brazilian dancer/choreographer duo to recount their thirty-year history and their recent transformation into video-makers.

To Look at the Sea Is to Become What One Is, Adnan’s forthcoming reader, provides the poets with an occasion to talk about image, philosophy, and love.
