The piece presents a contemporary Faust in a romantic interlude—an idyll, from the Greek idein “to see”—and also functions as a journey of the id. Narrative emerges from the intricate weaving of human gestures, expressions and bodily movement against vividly shifting colours and evolving rhythms, creating layered metaphorical meaning. It includes paintings by Emily Ripley and a soundtrack by Joel Haertling.
