What does it mean to be a women; what are different aspects of being a women? This dance performance was based on those questions and at the same time was looking critically at socio-imposed gender roles. The dance piece provided poetic pictures that inspired the audiences imagination, only to collide with stylised and abstract contents, taking a tightrope between absurdity and story.
The research and development of the piece was based on improvisation with upper and lower body being isolated from each other, which was visually supported by the costume.
