Notes

Description: In the 1st section ("crispling"), the dancer unwraps herself out of a plastic bag. The 2nd and 6th parts are rather static in terms of the movement of the dancer, 3rd and 5th parts are more dynamical. The 4th part ("telephone") has no movement and no stage lights. In the last part (the 7th) she disappears in artificial fog.
