Synopsis:
Choreographed by Aszure Barton, whom Baryshnikov calls "...one of the most innovative choreographers of this generation," this film invents a tribe of humans trying to make sense of their dehumanized lives, as they pass through Prague. Riding on a "pater noster," a cyclical, continuous elevator in which multiple door-less cars are strung along the cables like beads on a rosary, and then aboard a streetcar cycling in an endless loop, humans are so submerged in cities that the cycles of our lives are invisible. This film offers new ways of looking at the craving for human contact, and the sense of being alone together.
