Merging together the real and the imaginary, two dancers together with soundscape that amalgamate together the electronic frequencies with church singing with house music create a space for transgressive experience that holds a potentiality for becoming the imaginary, making the imaginary palpable. The transformational ecology of the space created by the performance holds together the dichotomy of various contradictions: the simultaneity of the somatic experience of the real and the imaginary, empowerment that originates from vulnerability. This confusion also manifests itself in the relationship between the performers that cannot be grasped with any particular verbal equivalent. One of the most striking images of the performance is a scene where two bodies fall into each other: when one body falls, the other - catches tenderly and with care, till the moment when both bodies are woven together and one becomes a landscape for the other. The bestiary of sensual, delirious, and rebellious bodies climaxes into a street dance battle accompanied by raw theatrical gestures like screaming into a microphone.
