Libertad and Katherine are investigating automatism and the alienation of movement from daily life and work. What lies behind seemingly empty movements? Do these movements belong to us? What happens when we experience moments that give new meaning to everyday life?
The automatic daily patterns of routine work may lead us to believe that we have no way out other than repetition.
With the music of Pimon Lekler, Libertad and Katherine will dive into the transit of being and cease to be automatons.
Are we the same people after seeing and recognizing ourselves in a different way?
