The creation treats Dance as a paradigmatic locus/lightning of Heterodoxy in articulation with Nietzsche's “Zarathustra”. For the choreography of a dance by Zarathustra, funambular, in imbalance and generosity as a manifestation of the “human, all too human”. Able to ignite away orthodoxy, uniformity, conformism, mere repetition of patterns, growing inhumanity. ⎯ HCC & JvMT
