Connected to the wall by a bungee cord, two dancers run as fast as they can, relentless and determined to reach their goal. They sabotage each other, challenge each other, give up and start again. Until one of the dancers, too tired to continue, discovers the impasse and slowly realizes not to work against it anymore, but to run with it. To use it to their own advantage and make themselves stronger. They discover the hidden possibilities that lie within it and a playful game begins. The bungee cords attached to the dancers are a metaphor for how we experience life. We can all identify with the feeling that life can work against you. That feeling of an invisible force pulling you back, preventing you from reaching your goal. You push, run, crawl as hard as you can, but you never seem to make it. It is as if this higher force, this universe, does not want you to reach your goal. What if this invisible force suddenly became visible?
