Performance of a contemporary circus that, through the interaction of movement on the aerial hoop and sound improvisations, speaks of the search for harmony.

A body that moves because of sound, and a sound that changes because of movement together speak of themes of control, domination, spite, cooperation, and coexistence in which neither exists without the other. The soundstage is an improvisation that consists of distorting the sound signal through guitar effects and oscillators. In addition to the guitar, analogue and digital samplers are used in a manner appropriate to the form. Every movement of the body and hoop is illustrated or completely dictated by the music that is created on the spot and directly corresponds to the performance. During each performance, the sound is upgraded and changed, depending on the default parameters of space, time and current environment.

The work on the play took place in the premises of the Circus Kolektiv association, HALA 100 and the Multimedia Cultural Center Split.
