"Bold, witty, and refreshingly original. The jury loved the conceptual risk of using a mundane object to explore complex social dynamics. It manages to be both a humorous satire on fitness culture and a serious choreographic experiment. A true highlight of creativity." Jury Statement Consonant Music Dance Film Festival
