Touché, a work for two dancers, explores the themes of male love. The pas de deux was created and filmed while safely quarantined at the Silver Bay YMCA Conference and Family Retreat Center in Silver Bay, New York during the COVID-19 crisis. The filmed performance received its World Premiere as part of the ABT Today virtual gala on November 23, 2020, danced by Calvin Royal III (Adam) and João Menegussi (Steve).
