Wavelength
The heat is on.
Lucius and Haider dance a conversation — uncertain whether it will end as a duet or a duel. Beneath the surface, tensions simmer: clashing opinions, misunderstandings, sensitivities, and frustrations. They face each other with the only weapons they know —their words, and the language of dance. They listen, shout, and whisper through a charged pas-de-deux.
Their moderator: a synthesizer that amplifies, distorts, or harmonizes their voices.
One thing is clear: neither will leave until the conversation has run its full course —until they’ve truly heard, and felt, each other’s wavelength.
Because it’s necessary.
Because today, it’s fucking necessary.
Wavelength is the theatrical embodiment of a real conversation between Haider Al Timimi and Lucius Romeo-Fromm about our polarized world. One arrived in Belgium from Iraq; the other from the United States. Together, they share their concerns about the state of things — echo chambers, cancel culture, our cosmic insignificance, and the growing rift between worldviews that makes coexistence seem impossible.
From there, they dance in search for a possible answer.
