A poem about the unknown

Following the full-speed expansion of technology, enormous changes affect all aspects of life as well as art. This dance theatre work investigates the changes the human body could undergo; the possible routes humanity could embark on; new definitions or paradigms art might find. Three dancers will compose a poem with their bodies. A poem written to, and about, the unknown. A message that will perhaps come back to us. An action happening in the present, in the past, and in the future.
