Omkretz2.22

Blazing dancing and unstoppable music in a cohesive race, the piece loops a triple trajectory, whilst handling a hyperbolic complexity with narrow corners and sharp edges. Tuning in, falling out of tune. Recklessness and determination. Two dancers and one musician performing a both contained and untamed groove.

sharp dancing looping a circuit, double, and rerun
body coerced, reckless in rigor, thrusting a hyperbole of speed and complexity
dancers and music mirroring each other, single moves repeated over time, sameness in difference on the lose
