This deceptively simple duet on two benches is both a part of Carl Flink’s in-progress evening length work Wreck and a stand alone piece. The duet reveals an intimate relationship frayed at its edges moving inexorably towards a final moment that could be resolution or resignation.

“But then there are works so great that one wishes they’d never end. Only they do, at precisely the right moment, leaving you elated, shaken, breathless. They’ve been shaped, choreographed, phrased and performed with a rigor that allows for the ache of inevitability — but not before taking every muscle, tangle of emotions and welter of thoughts on a kinesthetic ride. Almost anything by Mark Morris falls into this category. So does Mathew Janczewski’s Resonance, Carl Flink’s Duet From Wreck, Uri Sands’ recent Veneers.” – Camille LeFevre, Minneapolis/St. Paul StarTribune, April 17, 2007.
