At the centre of this dance theatre lies a makeshift laboratory unevenly fitted out with old-fashioned apparatus and highly advanced equipment. Within the lab the researchers' pulse rates quicken; the stakes are high, this is about life and death, about the here and now and the hereafter, about jeopardy and cure. It's a social and emotional furnace: a place of research, tests and toil and of conflict, love and death.
