The performance

In a postapocalyptic world, Julie Botet and Max Gomard land on mined territory – as if all life has vanished. With rhythmic movements, jumps and vibrations, they both try to restart the world again. They dance against the void, searching for a new beginning.

Between abrupt movements, moments of silence, and vibrating beats, a powerful soundtrack of hip-hop, ragga, and techno comes up. From destruction grows a glowing dancefloor – full of joy, energy, and HOT.
