The focus is on a dancer in a stretched posture with one leg raised and arms outstretched. Around her are other dancers and various curved wire installations in pink, fuchsia and purple. The scene is very dynamic.

Two dancers interact with each other. One sits on the floor, leaning back and supporting herself with both arms. Her legs are stretched out in the air. She wears long white gloves, a partially transparent white corset decorated with flowers, and wide, shiny trousers. Her hair is styled in a water wave. The second dancer is doing a kind of handstand above her, her face is covered. She is wearing similar clothing. In the background, a glowing circle can be seen on the floor. Behind it are more curved wire figures. A basket containing a bouquet of flowers can also be seen.

Two dancers in white costumes. The one on the left leans forward, her arms bent and covered with white gloves. She wears a white, partly semi-transparent corset top and wide, white, shiny trousers. White flowers are attached to her upper body. The one on the right stands upright, her head tilted back. She clasps her hands and touches her chest. She also wears a white top, white gloves and wide, white trousers. She too is decorated with flowers. The background is dark, and a glowing, ring-shaped circle surrounds the dancers on the floor.

Dancers stand in three rows, one behind the other. They all lean to the right and raise their right arms straight up. They wear white costumes with various white and pink flowers attached. They all stand in a white circle on the floor, except for one dancer in pink trousers who stands outside the circle and looks at the others. The rest of the stage is dark.

Many dancers in light-coloured costumes decorated with pink flowers are evenly distributed across the stage. They have their legs spread wider than shoulder-width apart and raise their right fists. Above them hangs a luminous two-dimensional installation resembling a fountain. The scene is bathed in pink light.

There is a pink illuminated circle on the floor, and a man is dancing inside it. Behind him, outside the circle, two other dancers are standing and watching him. Above them hangs an illuminated two-dimensional installation that resembles a fountain.

There is a large white circle on the floor. Inside this circle are a male dancer and a female dancer dressed in white clothing decorated with flowers. White light is shining on them. Another dancer is dancing in front of the circle, but he is not illuminated.

A man wearing pink trousers and a white top stands with his legs apart between two members of the ballet, who are wearing white clothes decorated with flowers. The dancer in pink trousers stretches his arms out to the left and right, and the two in white clothes grab his wrists and pretend to lick his outstretched index fingers. The three are deliberately lit from the side.

Three members of the ballet stand in a row under a spotlight. Only the face of the dancer at the front is visible. All three wear a ribbed, semi-transparent corset and a floor-length black skirt. The rest of the stage is dark.

Several dancers stand in a row, one behind the other. They wear black corset tops and black, floor-length, wide trousers. The dancer at the front reaches forward. The others fold their hands in different directions. All are dimly lit; the rest of the stage is dark.

A group of dancers on a dark stage. The female dancers wear black corsets and loose black trousers, while the male dancers are bare-chested. All but one dancer stand in a row with their backs to the audience. One dancer leans forward with a piercing gaze, bending his arms and tensing his hands so that they look like claws.

A group of ballet dancers with bare chests and female dancers wearing black corsets and dark trousers dance in dynamic, synchronised movements on a dark stage. Their arms are raised and their bodies slightly bent, their heads thrown back. Their hands are clenched like claws.

A male dancer in a skin-coloured top and long, black, very loose-fitting trousers and a female dancer in a black corset and similar trousers turn shoulder to shoulder. Their bodies are slightly inclined towards each other, and they raise their opposite arms upwards at an angle.

A female dancer and a male dancer stand on a dark stage, the light is focused only on them. The woman wears a black corset and loose black trousers. He wears only trousers like hers. She places one hand on her side, her arm stretched out and bent. Her other arm is stretched out straight. The man, with long, wavy hair, rests his head on her shoulder from behind. His face is mostly hidden by his hair.

Many dancers stand evenly spaced on the stage, which is sparsely lit from above. They fold their arms at hip height and tilt their heads back. They wear ochre-coloured tops and floor-length, very wide black trousers.
