Running time: 70 minutes.

Performers: There are three performers – two actors/dancers and one musician.

Setting:
1) It begins in the lobby of the theater, which is the site of the ”4th annual conference on Swarm Intelligence and Self-Organizing Systems.” As part of a demonstration, the audience is manipulated through a simple game to move through the space with balloons, becoming in essence a simple swarm. All of this is to musical accompaniment.

2) The lobby becomes a gate in the airport and all of the audience members board a plane to the desert. As they sit in their seats, they are on the plane, preparing to take off.

3) One of the characters is already in the desert. The other leaves the audience and continues on another plane until he arrives to the stage. The performance continues here in the desert.

Music: The music is played live. It is completely integrated into the action of the piece. Sometimes the music follows the action. Sometimes the action follows the music.

Set: Minimal. Consists of a painter’s ladder that leads down into a desert cave.
