Ten dancers (the same as the amount of lift platforms) enter one by one into a moving "paternoster lift." With a fly swatter they chase an imaginary fly inside of the lift (increasing, irregular slapping noise). Decreasingly, they get off the lift after around twelve minutes, accompanied by a faint, continuous drum swirl in one of the lift platforms. The audience is on four floors.  SÅJ '92
