N.N.N.N. is one intellect in four embodiments; four people, inextricably and mysteriously linked with each other. To the tranquil splashes of Thom Willems’ music they enter some complex and tense interaction. Their arms, legs, heads and bodies become individual voices that form counterpoint. In notes, these people record the voices of their bodies: initially in a slow tempo and then faster and faster. Gradually they grow to become one organism uniting in a single surge of impetuous movements of their arms, bending of their joints and a deep, sharpened sense of time
