A 15 mins sound-based performance that sets movement in relation to an heartbeat human sound. A performer follows the rhythm of the heartbeat by moving while wrapped in a sense of constrain and embrace. The body responds to simoultaneous sounds recorded from both pregnant women and their fetus captured in volunteers pregnant women through an electrocardiograph.
