A bodily and creative investigation is developed, leading to a work of embodiment of fundamental forces at a choreographic level, which subsequently evolves into an interdisciplinary performance involving dance, interactive visual arts, and live music. This structure gives an aesthetic vision of the universe and questions the relationship between the human body, the origin, and the fundamental forces of the cosmos.
The piece contains seven scenes: Origin, Strong Force, Nuclear Fission, Electromagnetic Force, Gravity, Dark Energy, and Weak Force. These scenes are assembled in a scenic journey guided by movement, sound, and image.
