We live in a world of things. In some ways we can’t function without them, in some ways the dependence is feigned. If we consider these things, we rediscover our relationship to them, positively and negatively. What role do these things play in a woman’s life, how are we determined by them? What do they say about women in society and what roles do we give them or allow ourselves to be pressed into by them? Two dancers explore the boundaries between dependence, status and necessity.
