In 1979 Iannis Xenakis wrote the composition Pléïades, originally intended as a dance piece. However the dance was never realized.
30 years later the choreographer Annika Luschin goes into a dialogue with this music and investigates into the following questions:
How do we hear music, when it is presented in connection with dance?
And how does the dance change our experience of hearing?
Music and dance become one, we cannot separate them anymore. Or can we?
