A site-specific piece about walking. Around 50 performers walk for 35 minutes through public spaces, highlighting the almost infinite consequences (musical, performative, social) of the simple act of walking.
Walking and (almost) nothing else. Walking through public spaces. Walking alone. Walking as a group, or as several groups. Walking without being noticed. Walking and being noticed (seen, heard, witnessed). Walking as a form of protest (against what?). Walking with a goal. Walking without a goal. Stop walking. Walking again. Walking without stopping.
