The theme of the spectacle is melting of ice, the very first movements breaking the stillness, breaking of ice. Awakening of suspended energy. 

 

A woman in a black evening gown enters the stage, sets up a microphone and takes up her position at the control desk. A man, dressed as if he's going to a rock gig, begins to talk about his life as a choreographer and shows the results of years of making movement. He talks the audience through the dance, which is based around a very simple structure of contrasts. All aspects of the work - dance, music, lighting and performer - play with our perceptions to provoke amusement and curiosity. Is he serious, is he for real? Go with the Floe.
