Throughout the 13-minute piece, their movements intertwine with shifting backdrops, creating an entrancing experience.
The film’s core strength lies in the synergy of its elements. The dancers, clad in black costumes, blend seamlessly into kaleidoscopic visual effects, creating an uncanny atmosphere that’s both soothing and alien.
