Description The work is a tableaux where materials, organisms and individuals blend and where matter cries. The work proposes a kind of behind truth and categories, where placelesness and meaning, hope and burden, integrity and desire for destruction are side by side.

Performers are set in a landscape of rocks, worms and liquids. The work is a doing contemplation: a process of construction and unfolding of images, where mundane, seemingly meaningless actions and details creep to the unconscious; where meaning(s) arises, and metamorphoses appear. As well as proposing enlargened empathy in relation to other than the human world and hence thinking about the complexity of existence and void, also a contemplation of care and meaningfulness takes place.
