Synopsis

The dance chronicles the creation of the planets, with the four elements of life: fire, wind, water, and earth. It shows a planet of fire, cooled by the wind, brought to life by water. These elements combine to form man, who works with them in harmony, and plays with each one.

This contemporary dance was originally choreographed without music. In its final form, Elements was composed to electro-acoustic music by Antonio Russek.
