A four-hour performance piece revolving around the idea of slowness in response to the acceleration of a rapidly forward-moving world. Rather than following a script, the performers engage in slow motion, fully focused on the present moment. An emergent choreography arises, whose full movements may only be grasped if the witness also endures. id
