At first I’m not sure it’s just me hearing it. It’s getting louder and shriller. I’m shivering. The ground that just carried me is suddenly hard and cold.

A physical, pictorial dance evening that puts everything on one card and uses intuitive knowledge of the bodies, where ordinary wisdom fails and language lures us away.
