Überengelheit (1999), his first play explores the limits of the body envelope. In rehearsal, This limit is increased by working in small spaces. It's in this restriction of the external physical space which it begins to approach the movement. She then developed the writing of four sentences, one for each dancer, inscribed in the same space without any temporal connection. The choreography is is about listening to movement in its most intimate parts. The near-immobility of the gestures takes shape through micromovements, small underground bumps, small collapses and repetitions, in a perpetual balancing act between tensions and counter-tensions.
