What if failure opened up a new path to discovery or success? Two musicians and two acrobatic dancers defy an immense and immutable cube. They grip on to it and fall, persevere and try again. Each thwarted attempt provokes an unexpected point of departure, a new adventure, a rebound.

Choreographer Thomas Guerry and composer Camille Rocailleux wrote this internationally successful joyful and sensitive piece, intertwining choreography and music. As the performers confront failure, loss, and fragility they push themselves forward physically, creatively, and collaboratively.

Committed to creating long-lasting experiences for students, FIAF provides educators with a free study guide with detailed content about the show as well as recommended pre- and post-event activities.
