A club night was abruptly halted by a singing choir, bringing all lights and sounds to a sudden stop. The choir, illuminated by a spotlight, slowly smirked as they chanted for one minute until the spotlight extinguished and they disappeared.

A four-hour performance piece revolving around the idea of slowness in response to the acceleration of a rapidly forward-moving world. Rather than following a script, the performers engage in slow motion, fully focused on the present moment. An emergent choreography arises, whose full movements may only be grasped if the witness also endures.
