The choreography is part of the Aerowaves 2020 Spring Forward selection.
The performers from three very different backgrounds (a classically trained ballet dancer, a dancer with a folk dance background and a dancer trained with contemporary techniques) and the musician interfere with each others personal spaces so much that the recipient/spectator can make away from their usual urge/constraints for interpretation. The bodies place the dance in the perspective of fine arts by their plasticity, fictily materiality.
The piece presents encounter-variatons of bodies in space stimulating free interpretation. Episodic events drawn from
social and personal contexts represent emotional, moral or intellectual situations. (Dorottya Albert, szinhaz.net)
