Inspired by the fascination of the dark, merging and bursting bodies in the Sibylle Rupert exhibition "Dancing in Darkness", the dancers Maja Mirek and Borys Jaźnicki deal with the shifting and transformation of boundaries between individuals and species. They draw on ancient myths in which people are hunted down and turned into animals or stones as a result of rejection, pain or wantonness. While firearms with their lead bullets pierce skin, flesh and floors, existence is transformed anew in the bodies believed dead.
