Description:

The recurring theme was golf. All objects were in motion. Some were swinging, others were spinning: the main structure, a sort of shelter, was also spinning during the whole performance.

“There was a magical aspect to it.”
Daniel Farioli transformed them, interacted with them, the scenario was very precise but he doesn't remember it.
The action finished outdoors after Daniel Farioli had gone out the window. Wink Van Kempen led the audience outside to watch the finale, it was dark out. Daniel Farioli first swung at a fluorescent golf ball and then at a “pétanque” ball that didn’t move.

Like all of Daniel Farioli’s performances there was sound, music.
