SYNOPSIS
HIIT is a piece inspired by the cardiovascular training method that consists of repeating, alternating periods of high intensity anaerobic exercise and less intense recovery periods for a defined number of sets. HIIT explores the speed limits and intermediate ranges of the moving body, captivating the spectator with its frenetic rythm and continous change of fantasy, where each individual experiences a very intense physical and emotional journey.
HIIT is not only a dance performance, but it is also a powerful, immersive and sensorial experience that transcends the bodies of the performers and passes through each viewer in a unique, personal and transformative way. HIIT is speed, fatigue, vulnerability, power, and exhaustion.
