synopsis

An abandoned building. A woman is slowly waking up in a dark room, tied to a chair. Unable to untie herself, she lets herself drop and crawls around with the chair on her back. After a while she manages to free herself and she moves away from the chair. But the chair intrigues her, she can't let go. Carefully she tries to examine the chair. She hugs it, pushes it away, drags it around... Hesitatingly she gets up with the chair on top of her. She moves more freely now, but is still circling around the chair. The interaction intensifies, until she completely backs away from the chair. A man appears. The woman gets down again and grasps him, but he repels her and runs away. A game of chasing, attracting and repelling develops throughout the entire building. One time he's going after her, the other time she's going after him. Sometimes tenderly and harmoniously, sometimes heavily struggling. The same contradictory pattern keeps repeating itself in different variations. She wants to go back to the chair, but he gets there first. They fight for the chair: an obstacle between them. In the end he gets frustrated, throws the chair away, and disappears. Back alone, she returns to the chair. The story repeats itself in reverse order and she ends up tied to the chair again, dissolving in time.
Une fille se réveille dans un bâtiment abandonné, attachée sur une chaise. Un jeu d'attirer et repousser se développe entre la fille et la chaise, et après entre la fille et un homme qui apparaît. Parfois gentil, parfois en grande difficulté. Il y a un motif qui se répète, retournant à nouveau au début.
Een jonge vrouw wordt langzaam wakker in een verlaten gebouw. Ze is vastgebonden op een stoel. Ze laat zich vallen op de grond. Na verschillende pogingen om zich te bevrijden, lukt het haar. De stoel intrigeert haar. Nieuwsgierig tast ze hem af. Ze omhelst hem, duwt hem weg, sleept hem achter zich aan, ... Ook als ze recht staat, blijft ze er omheen draaien. De interactie is heviger. Ten slotte neemt ze afstand. Een man verschijnt ten tonele. Eenzelfde spel van aantrekken en afstoten ontspint zich doorheen het gebouw. Soms teder of harmonieus. Soms hebben ze spetterende ruzie. De ene keer zit hij achter haar aan, de andere keer is het andersom. Het patroon herhaalt zich keer op keer. Als ze terug naar haar stoel wil, is hij haar voor. Hij neemt de stoel af en gooit hem weg: het is genoeg geweest. Ze is weer alleen en keert terug naar de stoel. Ze bindt zichzelf eraan vast, net zoals het verhaal begon.
