Without the sun's energy, life as we know it could not exist on this planet. Life on earth depends on the light and energy of the sun. LOVE PROJECT shows that everything is energy. Energy that pushes water up inside the tree trunk to nourish the leaves. Energy that enables the slime mold - a single-celled amoeba organism - to make decisions and form a social body with other slime molds. The way dancers and choreographers work with their bodies is political. In LOVE PROJECT we are working to restore the balance between the five elements: Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether - a balance that is necessary for our survival on this planet.
