Three to four dancers climb ladders in order to strap themselves to ropes which spiral down from three pillars. Then, slowly, they walk around the pillars – bodies hanging out in space, parallel to the floor. Each winds down a pillar until his/her head nearly touches the floor. The lower they get, the heavier they seem.
