Freely inspired video work "Quad" by Samuel Beckett, Knot is a research on the concept of zero as "no number" as a separate space indeterminate massless , weight and volume. The space action black square drawn on the floor in which in four corners, four dancers waiting to enter. The first dancer, once entry is followed by the second, and finally from the third to quarter. They cross the diagonal constantly avoiding the center. Almost like a danger zone, prohibited, the center of the stage becomes the zero, a spatial vacuum in which the movement is zero. The movement of the dancers is reduced to a minimum, becoming pure function, pure movement of walking.
