Pure human joy in movement and music, with its many shapes and demonstrations, exists from very beginning.
Dance as extacy, something dynamic, elemental and as a contrast dance as meditation.
Looking for our animal inside and as opposit for the human site, what makes humans human.
The play with time - the endeavour to search for timelessness.
