”Throughout my career as a choreographer, I have been troubled by this performance convention, in which we as an audience arrive at a certain location at a given time, follow a preset dramaturgical arc from start to finish, and are then given permission to leave the performance. It feels as if this mode of presentation robs the performance of the randomness inherent in our world, which in my opinion lends all the wonder and misery to our human lives. I want to create a work with a sense of time that feels like it has always existed, granting the viewer a random slice of this continuity. I have often compared my pieces to a continuously evolving sculpture in a gallery, and so it is in this case as well.” – Petri Kekoni
