Three soft, identical objects move on a circular stage, producing material sounds amplified by the vibratory space of the stage. Progressively, their sounds and movements synchronize, as if they were learning to help each other. Then, they separate and move off-beat, as if they were learning to compete against each other. Finally, when the audience comes and softly hit the stage, they learn to reproduce the rhythm of the vibration, as if they grew attached to starting a communication.
