The piece deals with how individuals respond to social conventions, and their similarities and differences. Due to their diverse backgrounds and upbringings, the performers are able to investigate perceptions of social conventions in various cultures by means of dance. Using her own unique artistic language, which combines detailed movement vocabulary and heightened theatrical humor, Ella Rothschild explores the personalities and the relationships in the group and creates one big wonderful, grim world, lighthearted and yet very profound.
