As a sequence of choreographed movements the performance setup oscillates between modes of isolation and opening towards the outside, of individual and collective action.
The participants carry custom-made listening modules built out of lightweight, flexible wooden boards on their shoulders. The inside of each module is covered with acoustic foam: when closed around the head, the noises from the outside are diminished. Spoken instructions are transmitted though built-in fm-receivers.
