Buoy as a safe place, anchored, immobile and at the same time reacting to the external environment. The buoy as the harmony of two bodies balancing, supporting each other. A place associating immersion into the interior of experience. Or a boundary signaling a risky environment. Sometimes in an attempt to cooperate, sometimes in conflict, the dancers are always trying to rescue themselves in various forms and contexts. They achieve this relentless pursuit through physical possibilities to impossibilities. The sudden sense of rescue leads them to an intensely lived experience.
