At this moment six centimeters before landing, it is the last opportunity to adjust the body. If adjusted well, it will land perfectly. Six centimeters is also the farthest distance that the body can perceive this world. The work wants to infinitely extend life in the last second before landing, constantly and tenaciously resisting. Even when close to losing control, it still tries hard to balance. Just like life is full of all uncontrollable and random external forces. The most beautiful moment is the state of being on the verge of collapse but not admitting defeat, absurd but wonderful. Through the bodies of circus performers and dancers, combined with large machinery, industrial fans, tennis launchers, ropes, etc., and a strong physically interfering state, it shows the beauty on the verge of chaos and losing control, attempting to break the precise control of dancers and circus performers, presenting the ugliest expression before landing and presenting the most real existence.
The full text is open from December 28th to December 29th. The performance time and duration are subject to the on-site situation.
