A story of brotherhood, community and struggle, the piece explores the relationships between generations, leveraging the precociousness of the young boy to balancethe sometimes solemnity of the older men. In the piece, there is a focus on individual movement, but also on shared experience. The piece focuses on the individual humanity of each male figure, representing various family relationships. It also underscores collective actions, literally and figuratively via the dance movements.
