Confessions – true and fictious. Covers – Isaac Hayes, John Lennon, Abba – performed by bears on rollerskates. Something’s been lost: ones beloved, ones youth, ones dreams …

Do we want to forget, just look ahead,, beyond sorrows and pain? Or do we want to immerse ourselves in uninhibited, melancholy, nostalgic FUNK?

The megalomaniac dies, the 1920th femme fatale shows us her mastery in mime, the mextex gangster performs a striptease; we finally show you what modern dance’s all about, and the children, lost in their ballroomdancing routines, just go on and on, happy and utroubled by it all …

Or maybe what we witness are just pieces of an unfinished puzzle, lifted out of the feverish, amnetic brain of our glamourous diva?
