The bunch of bodies creates a bubbling object, a living installation rolling through space, which grows, rests, stretches, breaks apart, and reunites like drops of mercury. Sometimes it is a structure, other times a tangle of individuals, and at times an unidentifiable creature that blurs the boundary between human and non-human. The meditativeness of quacking, the uplifting resonance of church choirs and whale echoes, the crescendo of minimal techno, and the fullness of silence intersect with urgent cries of ravens, which become a delayed musical score for a new dance.

 

The dance installation is woven from certain movement materials of the performance "Fettered to the Moment" originally created for the stage space. However, the matters are pushed further, fully utilizing their potential to draw the audience into an infinite metamorphosis in a universe where time flows in spirals, goes and returns transformed, building a very subtle, multi-layered, and highly kinesthetic experience that offers various perspectives. The media used are live bodies and video projection.
