A vast installation made of movable curtains shifting automatically in space, transforming it with their movement. Sounds accompany the dance of fabric. The ‘audience’ plays with the empty space and before they know it, have ‘created’ amazing scenarios which include them, and they quickly realize that they are part of this ’emptiness’.
