A physical and visual performing arts experience - a fierce symbiosis between dance, parkour, technology and media.

Two parkour athletes balance on a massive structure of pipes and clamps. They have to negotiate weight and gravity, find grip or help each other. They take risks, get red and tired, sit on the cradle, climb, balance - or fall. Multiplying algorithms, staged identities, games, tracks and surveillance - everything becomes fluid and fleeting. Until the trajectories of parkour shift us back again, to the athletes, the real bodies and what they can incredibly accomplish.

Live projections of video and light create unexpected transitions between different layers of time and reality. It provides an experience of displacement, which is reinforced by the electronic soundscape. How we as humans are affected and influenced by visible and invisible networks - just as the performance also asks what it means to break with established patterns. The parkour shows extreme physics, but with a minimalist approach. It both overwhelms and delights - we recognize the risk in our own bodies, but also the play.

The performance has a flexible technical solution and can be shown in stage rooms, in site-specific locations and outdoors.
