ELA appears on roller skates with other FREE SPIRITS and performs for WAZ, who is totally captivated. ELA is his connection to the real world – a spot of color in his bleak reality. Playfully intrigued, she approaches to touch his blue feathers, but he pulls back.

When you've come this far out on the edge of yourself, there's no place left to go but inside. When I retreat to the Cube - my dressing room, my fortress, my refuge - I am lulled by memories of my youth, like a soothing balm in a jaded world.

The GREYS execute a striking group choreography, changing directions in rhythmic unison, their eyes glued to their cellphones – compasses leading nowhere. They are all the same: withdrawn, strait-jacketed into their daily routines. ELA playfully joins in the performance of a fellow FREE SPIRIT. Combining dance and gymnastics, the artist twirls her batons as if they are an extension of her body. Demonstrating exceptional control, she spins one, two, and then three batons around her neck, arms, and legs, tossing them high into the air and catching them after performing a series of acrobatic figures.
