1 / 8 mm man
Inspired by 'The Woman in the Dunes "(Kobo Abe, 1962)

Steadfastly sand trickles from the chandelier.
She catches it on how life-giving water and carries it in a bucket, handful of handful. Sisyphus. He follows the woman with big eyes, sometimes fearful, sometimes obsessive, and drive like a madman, waving his butterfly net for insects.
Experience the bizarre quirks in the coexistence of the counterpart to light that are difficult to understand and accept.
The rare movement language with its grotesque comedy connects contact dance, mime, art and voice to a strange, bizarre poetry.
