Anglo/Belgian Retina Dance Company latest production X: is inspired by game show fascination in our TV culture. The dancers are trapped in a game of survival, not knowing their purpose, but searching for the missing element in their lives. Is being infiltrated and indoctrinated with unreachable dreams part of our society?

Four dancers/contestants compete for X:, surrendering to the physical and mental tasks required for success. The pressure mounts throughout the piece, becoming more absurd and frantic, challenging the perception of the witness.
