A Duet Without You is a solo performance trying (and inevitably failing) to be a duet. Re-enacting a pas-de-deux without a partner, Chloé Déchery embarks on a series of fragmented conversations with international artistic collaborators Simone  Kenyon, Deborah  Pearson  and  Pedro  Inês.  Beyond distance and despite absence, Chloé and her collaborators try to experience what brings us together and what drives us apart.
