"They could be sisters or lovers, friends or strangers, they could be doctor and mourner or nurse and dying woman. United in solidarity and strength, two women are able to accept death as an inevitable, but important part of their lives. They show that an open dialogue about dying can bring about new power and perspectives and that the knowledge about pain and our own mortality can make us grow as individuals, and as a society.
The two protagonists connect, and so do contemporary dance, electro-acoustic music, textile arts and video elements. Together they create a unique view on death and the evanescence of life."

Excerpt review Frank Schmid (Rundfunk Berlin Brandenburg – Kultur:)
(The movement)... in its sharp-angled abstraction, is reminiscent of Merce Cunningham, William Forsythe or, more recently, Marco Goecke, without his extreme acceleration. So you can imagine the bodies of the two dancers as if they had been scratched in a few strokes with charcoal on white paper and as if these strokes were now walking across the paper. Well, really a very varied dance language that is captivating to the end.
