The body in motion activates the space, introduces a relative order of extent, weight and density, volume. With its trajectory linking different fragments. It shows how can be occupied. The architecture provides information to the body. As a stage, introduces specific codes, set the game board. It promotes certain attitudes, stimulates positions and movements among other less related. Interferences between both establish a more complete sphere, a micro cosmos.

Materials, sizes and forms delineate an order in which there is no hierarchy but different, complementary conditions. Curved walls with translucent thickness define two wide and rounded areas, which Interior spaces are surrounding and light, with different textures over the white.  Horizontal lines draw the curved geometry on the materials. Outside, heavier and colored spaces also have imprecise limits, with perforated sheets that enclose deep walls.  The openings connect both sides, forming a continuous extension with a flexible use. A blue surface with zigzagging shape, formed by repetition of concave elements, hides the domestic smaller program.

Ceiling relief modulates both space and sound. Textured stones and hairy clothes emphasizes other surfaces synthetic and glossy weightlessness appearance.  Domed forms, double doors, and textile coatings create a palatial atmosphere.

The body of the dancer, followed by the camera, builds a fluid space. She wakes lazy by the window, stretches herself and gets ready next to the dresser. Then goes over the corridor, surrounds the kitchen and finally opens the dance hall. Dynamic shots are combined with other static, where we can superimpose a multiplicity of movements and speeds. Dancing provides another imagination of the domestic life.
