In the work the artists explore various methods to challenge the body and balance. They search for different patterns and mechanisms, attempting to respond to them, and also break them. The search for transcendence emerges from the mechanics, from the concrete and the tangible. Each part of the body receives its own rhythm and life—the legs, the hands, the head. The question posed is how far can one stretch the boundaries of coordination when a fall might be inevitable? Singing and playing highlights the search for stable security as well as vulnerability and falseness. The viola serves both as an instrument that reacts to and supports movement, as well as leading it. Creating unbalance in order to create balance. The mediums unite into a symphony of organized chaos, where the music becomes movement and the movement becomes music.
