Synopsis and structure:
The work is divided into four scenes of approximately 10 minutes each.
1.- (The Temptation) Some men practice Tai-Chi, a martial art that involves aspects of meditation. A beautiful woman passes by whose presence creates a rivalry between the former partners. This rivalry is expressed precisely in the use of Tai-Chi as what it is: a martial art capable of killing. In the end one of the opponents is injured, and the remaining two look in horror at the point they reached. The woman remains intact. (Scene for four dancers)
2.- (The Purity) With a fan of 80cm a dancer performs a tasting of the saber. In turn, the fan becomes a kind of wings; giving with this to understand its degree of evolution (almost an angel). He is a man capable of resisting the temptation of a woman.
3 .- (They) Three women perform a dance with skirts 9m long. In the end they interweave forming a kind of braid.
The image is something like a woman-snake.
4.- (The Meeting) It is the meeting between men and women, a kind of consecration of spring.
In the end the angel-man is sacrificed.
