(S)EVEN
"The person you love is 72.8% water." Anonymous
Just as life (S)even is at first glance full of contradictions but that's what makes it - and life - paradoxically complete. The work draws us into a world full of objects frozen, melting and freezing. Five performers desperately attempting to preserve the moments of the past.

"Zustiak created his vocabulary out of the simplest of gestures -- grasping the neck, a fall, a twirl -- perceived in an infinite variety of ways. ... In slow-motion, where even the hair shifted imperturbably, the women seemed to show concern and support. ... Each of the elements was a distinct marvel in the way Zustiak presented them."
