Is dance a language? Can movement make sense? When do bodily movements become dance? Here the young people can make up their own minds. Put their own meaning into the movements. The performance is a choreographic work that opens up the young audience to abstract dance. The performance does not tell a story from A to Z, but communicates through an intense dance language that is poetic, but at the same time seems extremely concrete in the moment. The dancers' strong presence is experienced as close and understandable. The performance fantasizes about how the meaningless becomes meaningful, how language, roles, words and movements change and take on new meanings. The movement material is not repetitive and new movement signs are constantly added. The performance is both challenging and entertaining at the same time. The production is a revival and has previously been produced and toured through Turneorganisasjonen for Hedmark 1997/1998.received the Performing Arts Award in 2000 from Performing Arts Hub Norway "artistic courage and ability to communicate with a young audience".

Comments on the workshop:
The performance is made especially for middle school students. It also has great appeal for older youth and adults. Materials are being prepared for use in teaching in relation to dance as an expression, installation art and the artistic understanding of language.
