It speaks about us. About the uncomfortable yet common sensation that we are not in control of life. One fleeting, precious moment does not last forever. Patterns, relationships, jobs, views, personalities, and thoughts are subject to change. Where is the stability? Change occurs in a few seconds, even without acknowledgment. At the end, life seems like the MTA L train line: everyone goes in the same direction, but nobody has the same destination. The music is a personal mix created by Aika Takeshima using the music of "MANOID" and "Luke Hess", live recording of the L Train MTA NYC subway and spken words written by Aika Takeshima and Sara Pizzi spoken by Hailey Morgan Miller.Ranardo-Domeico GraysThe company will perform Dash - Between, a ballet about living life in the dash between born and died.
