The work was done in collaboration with Oui Danse
(bricemousset.com), a New York contemporary dance group.
Inspired by the mentality, “survival of the fittest,” this work
portrays the darkness of the business world, the routine with
stress, competition, even cruelty and the desire of escape from the
“circus.”
