Collision represents a male trio challenging the elements. In a tense atmosphere, the dancers appear on a stage plunged into the shade to defend their individuality. Alienation is pressing them into a frenetic and repetitive ritual. In this struggle among a hostile environment, the dancers are left in a place where human feelings are almost nil. Each individual will have to break out of their own jail and their own confinement.
