What came first: the body or the rhythm?
Two figures try to function. They optimize, repeat, accelerate. Their days unfold according to the logic of a simulation in which nothing can be wasted and every movement must serve a purpose. Until their bodies begin to fall out of sync.
Inspired by sleep deprivation, The Sims, push notifications, coffee shops, and their shared screen addiction, Lennert Van Nuffel and Indra Hauben create a physical, English-language performance about efficiency as a way of life, exhaustion as a form of resistance, and the body as the last place where a different rhythm can still persist.
