According to current scientific theories, dark matter is a form of matter that does not emit, absorb or reflect light, and is therefore invisible and cannot be detected. Yet it exerts a significant influence on the universe. This piece seeks to capture the essence of this invisible but powerful presence, using improvisation to create a space where dance and sound reveal new perspectives and understandings.
