Simple and random poses performed by bodies devoid of identity in short and controlled times. It is in this way that five performers use their corporeal masses either to refer to the dance or sometimes to remember the sculpture. In allusion to Man Ray’s surrealist masterpiece, “Object to be Destroyed” (1923), in addition to readings based on narratives and unpredictable effects, there is a clear proposal for a rhythmic observation of the work.
