The show

A situation of inherent tension complemented by a hint of nostalgia served as the motivation for the performance. Eight dancers evoke the pursuit of an unattainable desire, waiting, and a pained Utopia, against a musical background created by Haydn’s 39th Symphony and Adieux, other music and silence.
