Down to the Wire plays with the visible and invisible threads that keep us in balance.
Two dancers, two chairs, a table and a bed complete the homely world. With a touch of Dutch revue pioneer Louis Davids, who sang in 1935: “You imagine to be pulling the strings, but ah, life hurls you left and right…”
