This creation process will unfold as a collective exploration of time, rhythm, and togetherness. We will transform the task of walking into collective rhythms, challenging tempo and gradually distorting the task into something else, something beyond its everyday function.

Through this transformation, we will question what it means to move as a group: Can we walk in someone else’s shoes? Which rhythms shape us, and which ones do we choose to resist? These curiosities will guide both physical and emotional explorations, inviting performers to navigate empathy, individuality, and collective awareness.

Drawing inspiration from the unnoticed rhythms of daily life, the process turns the mundane into the poetic. I invite you to bring your favourite shoes and see what stories they have to tell.
