The initial concept for the trio began with the idea of exploring industrial spaces containing raw materials.
We can almost imagine huge factories and massive void areas, places where machines replace human activity.
Introducing organic elements - bodies, vocals - in these spaces seems to affect the whole environment and our perception of it.
As if out of nowhere the dancers appear amongst this landscape and the audience is allowed a glimpse of a fleeting moment before the unusual encounter soon fades.
