documentary

Shaena balances on a large metal hoop, suspended in space. Barnz,  gripping the other end of the rope, watches her intensely, waiting for her every move.  At an almost imperceptible sign from Shaena, Barnz glides up the king pole, bringing her down to earth. When she is up, he is down, when she is down, he is up: it’s more than just a physical balancing act- with this mixture of fear, desire, tension and inter-dependence, this acrobatic duet becomes a metaphor for love.
