The Moebius Strip (2001)

Premiered on May 8th 2001, Théâtre de la Ville Les Abbesses, Paris, France
Re set on August 3rd 2007, Teatro San Francisco, Pachuca, Mexico

PRESENTATION

A Moebius Strip is a two-dimensional surface with only one face.
A Moebius Strip represents infinity.When you cut a moebius strip in half, lengthways, you get a double moebius strip. If you cut it again you get a triple strip, and so on into infinity.

When you ride a moebius strip, it is like going back to the beginning, in space, on a one-dimensional surface. If you cut it lengthways, then you must continue, and continue, and you will never cross your starting point again. Like life itself, it is a perpetual restart, never from the same point.
