The space is a black square drawn on the pavement on which a dancer crossed the diagonals avoiding continuously the center. As it was a dangerous zone, forbidden, the center of the stage becomes degree zero, an empty spatial object, annulled from whichever movement. A pendulum as drop, is moves on the center without touching the floor. It gives the time, the entire ratio of the velocity of the piece. The movement of dancer is almost motionless. The dance is reduced to the minimum parts, becoming pure function, pure movement of deambulation: the walk.
