A shimmering space opens up when the human is touching the non-human. We are part of an intimate scene between two pupplayers in a living room. The close-up cinematography shows the soft touches and playful actions of two men dressed as dogs. The film confronts us with our own needs for sensuality, touch and playfulness as human animals.
Lo spettatore diventa parte di una scena intima tra due PupPlayers in un salotto. Un primo piano mostra i morbidi tocchi e le azioni giocose di due uomini vestiti da cani. And then we touch ci mette a confronto con i nostri bisogni di animali umani: sensualità, tatto, giocosità. Nel momento in cui si accresce la propria consapevolezza della natura performativa di categorie quali umanità e animalità, si schiude uno spazio luminoso in cui l'umano sfiora il non umano.
