Inspired by Monique Wittig's »Le Corps Lesbien« and Octavia Butler's novel »Parable of the Sower«, showdown imagines episodically the meeting and co-existence of two individuals. In a strange and at the same time provisional-hopeful environment, the two dancers Nanna Stigsdatter Mathiassen and Judith Förster find opportunities to encounter each other. With reference to the worlds of Neo-Western and Survivalism, in »showdown« the line between duet and duel, collaboration and sabotage becomes blurred.
