‘The possibilities of what a performance can be and do are exploded in Nimi Collective’s STILL Falling From Zero. Although undoubtedly a standout choreography of gestures, unspeakable emotions, and aural cues that said far more than can be said with only movement or words…’
— Sarah-Mace Dennis for The Place London
 

Still, falling from 0

 
 

is a multidisciplinary performance in conversation between the moving bodies and the progressive sounds. Questioning the value of movement in today's society the performers find themselves at the junctions of continuous changes in space, mechanics, speed and interpretation. The fragments of sounds circulating in the space are manipulated live by the performers, constructing seemingly disorganised soundscapes from scratch. Actions trigger sounds and sounds trigger actions, finding points of encounter between chaos and control while a nonsensical world is slowly being built.
