Description Within a moving set of frames, the action is exposed and edited before the audience's eyes. Live action interacts with life-sized film imagery evoking the multiplicity of thought within each character, their fleeting desires, their unfulfilled expectations.
Giant giraffes tangled in a mating ritual are background to a couple's antagonistic counterbalance dance. A human race that runs in circles in a metaphor for our more desperate efforts to survive and a marathon dance of repetition reveals nuances of intimacy that only exist through the stamina of emotional endurance.
