The choreographer writes: “The moments when I have experienced awe are more often connected to nature. When I find myself at the top of mountain looking at the all-embracing landscape with a light breeze sweeping through the trees. Or on a boat seeing the sea stretch out across the horizon. I have experienced it when entering cathedrals and other architecturally grand buildings. And even when I saw famous pieces of art and performances that I never thought I would experience firsthand. It is in these moments that I find myself thinking in a more expansive way. It is this grand scale of the vastness of our universe that usually triggers these moments of awe for me. Realizing how miniscule of a speck we are brings me a sense of comfort and place on this planet.”

There is an element of quirkiness as well as humour present in the piece, which is characteristic of Bytheway productions aesthetic, with digital scenography and live sound design created especially for the piece. The two performers sit on two swings in an imagined space between heaven and earth, they experience this existential landscape and the expansion of time. They are in no rush to leave and yet are ready to leave in an instant, whenever it will be their time to go to their next phase. A deliberate sense of surrealism and other worldly aesthetic is created in order give space and to invite the audience in, to encourage them to remember their own experiences of awe and give them time and space to live those moments again.

This is the journey that the two performers take, they float, they wonder, and they awe.
