Clap Clap is the encounter between two women. Two women about whom nothing is known, and about whom nothing else will ever be known beyond this encounter. A harsh, animal encounter in which a dominant/dominated dynamic quickly establishes itself. Naturally. From the moment they enter the stage, the two women fight over their territory. A struggle that leads one of them to try to drown the other, and that does not produce a winner. Recovering from this attempted drowning, she then uses speech to gain the upper hand. She seems to have difficulty loving, as if her emotional world were a territory kept under high surveillance. From then on, Marie-Philip accepts to play the role of the dominated, with the stated aim of penetrating this very territory. Drawing closer to Alexa through games, through sex, through self-erasure, she may perhaps manage to touch her. It remains to be seen how Alexa will respond.
