3 videos show the rotation of an upper body, each at varying speeds. Positioned side by side, they occasionally align and diverge. The figure sits on a white floor adorned with adhesive strips in a fishbone pattern in shades of orange, pink, and red.

LATE  is a long ball

A baroque opulence with contemporary bodies

A collective dance on Crip Time

An excess of the time that we have

An experiment on collectivity

How can we share time if we cannot share time?

A group of performers  returns to the beginnings of dance notation, gets in formation and assesses anew the cultural past that has defined the power space around them. They put in question the possibility of synchronicity and organize their dance along their own temporal scope. By way of that, they create a space of simultaneities.  They look deep into the past in order to create a future for themselves.
