Lydia, a professional ballroom dancer, tragically lost her limb. Herself? Her identity? Her body and mind grapple with phantom limb syndrome and the presence of a new high tech bionic limb that is supposed to fuse with her body and make her whole again. The bionic limb and stump/past body grapple with fusing past and future with a present wholeness. Her lover and dance partner, Elias, tries to find his own place in the throes of Lydia’s attempts to rehabilitate herself. The highs are soaring and the lows deeply painful. Is there hope? They gyrate in a magic cycle from nothingness to synesthesia, numbness to super-existence. How can they reconcile their new identities with themselves and each other? A song, multimedia, and movement painting about a woman and her significant other, be it bionic limb or lover.
