"At a time when words cease to be relevant, the physical condition speaks louder than anything else. It touches upon inexplicable layers of physical extremes, which try to give meaning to subterranean states. We are earthworms, blind and lost, trying to penetrate the depths of the earth to hide, to get lost - and in the process we find ourselves connected." Yasmeen Godder

The work positions five performers within a clean yet tension-laden space – a kind of living installation where movement, body, and sound function as the primary raw materials. The electronic-meditative score shapes an audio-visual environment that is at once present and elusive, stable yet mutable, inviting the viewer to encounter their own reflection through the piece.

The performers’ bodies are conceived as sites of research: they yield to the weight of time, respond to the urgency of the moment, and at times collapse deliberately into alternative states of being. Layers of skin become a charged, sensitive surface – a territory of materiality and vulnerability – where uncertainty evolves into a mode of existence.

“This is a beautiful work that speaks directly to the heart.” Ran Brown - Ha’aretz

“Godder holds up a mirror to our pain, to our struggle to survive, to move forward, to process, and to confront fragments of reality.” Joy Bernard - Creative Writing
