Five women; hard-wired through time periods, variable faces and emerging characters. A cyclic journey of a continual transformation, through which questions open towards femininity. Handling cliches and cultural stigmas, the characters release their beasts and monsters; becoming one living fabric, disregarding gender as a conduct order, continuing their self-revealing within the forces of nature.

press:
"Basically Carroll works with the polarity of the animal and cultural – which reminds us of the former choreography Dance of Canis Lupus a bit, which was worked up for VerteDance by Thomas Stayert. Even here we meet the group of women who can be a pack, a clump of molecules, protozoans as well as prehistoric monsters. The transitions between the sophisticated, plastic movement and affect leading to caricature are organic and move forward like cracks in a wall. In this connection, Carroll uses special characteristics of individual female dancers and on the other hand he manages to harmonize them into a compact dynamic unit by means of which he creates powerful images with an unambiguous atmosphere."

"It is pure joy watching Carroll´s perfect work with time, to watch how she builds up the rhythm of the piece by changing of tempo and light and how the dancers revel in the slowness, patiently, with lightness, only to change for a fast mode, in a very self-secure way".
- Jana Bohutínská A2, June 23rd 2010

“A strong and energetic piece. (…) A show composed with perfect expression, strong message, and flawless motion.”
