This piece is a video-ballet in seven movements, played continuously. The piece follows the story of creation:
The story is set as a set of variations, reflecting the tw0-part structure of the story: Days 1, 2 and 3 are complemented by Days 4, 5 and 6.
In Day 7 the theme is presented in its simplest form. The visuals also tell the story in an abstract way, using footage and photographs from the two places equally responsible for the work’s commission: Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall, and the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, and their immediate surroundings.
