Continually changing dance around continuous strings of motifs

This is a live performance incorporating manifoldly layered, interlinked, and then again separated visuals, music and dance.

Against this backdrop of various continuously changing elements, animal suits, open reels, three-dimensional objects and other rather odd stage props are each used as sequences for filtering out the "phenomenon of dance". Furthermore, a large jack-up screen system, drums, guitars and other acoustic musical instruments, ten projectors and five cameras, and additionally, choreographies worked out in a relay style add to the dramatically changing scenery of motifs illustrated in the course of the show.
