The human on the outside - the object in the centre - the body in service.
The movement of the bodies here is generated by the activation and manipulation of the object. The dancer is decentralised, he is on the periphery, around the object. The dance is therefore no longer the centre or the focus of the performance.
The three structures/stands are manipulated, sometimes assembled to take the form of an enclosure, a marked passage or a temporary interior, they can also become physical and symbolic landmarks. In a sometimes mimetic way, the postures of the bodies can recall those of the objects installed in the movement.
The staging or installation focuses on this relationship of the performer to the manipulated object: without a background or backdrop, the manipulated objects become in a way a moving set without decorative representation.
On one of the wooden circles the hombre of a body and a thread moving with each other is drawn, giving us the impression that time is reflected by the movement between the inanimate and the animate.
