A beam of light cuts through the darkness, an impossibly tall structure
of plastic and metal walks forward, robotic in movement and alien in
design. Scanning its surroundings, the beam illuminates a heaped pile
of entwined limbs. A spark of life triggers movement, jerky, erratic
and probing. Two beings emerge from the pile, a male and female robot.

Unsteady
at first, the pair start to explore their physical dexterity and test
each others' strength and balance in an elaborate series of manoeuvres.
A dance of supreme acrobatic skill ensues and is performed to a haunting
and atmospheric soundtrack, lit by the animated lighting tower.
