With A sudden, unexpected faint by the dance company Wee choreographer and dancer Francesco Scavetta wishes to lure out the audience's own associations and wondering:
He thinks that this wondering can be compared to our need to find out what happened prior to and after a faint.
In the spring program of BIT Teatergarasjen 2001 the following is written about A sudden, unexpected faint by Wee:
"Two dancers, a physical, but emotional dance, accompanied by one of the foremost jazz musicians in Norway today, Jon Balke. Francesco Scavetta was born in Salermo, Italy, and has expansive experience from European performing arts. With Gry Klipperberg, who is known from Dans Design and Ingun Bjørnsgaard Prosjekt among other companies, he started Wee, a newly established and exciting dance company, colouring its expression in nuances from dance and live music.
A sudden, unexpected faint is a duo, with Scavetta and Klipperberg onstage. The inspiration is found in the need for intimacy, and to tell a little story about two persons, the metamorphosis between them, the interaction and the change. Beautifully choreographed images and beautiful live music in interaction, where fragile dance warms up with humour and is acrobatic as a caressing hand.
The company brings the jazz musician Jon Balke along. (...) In A sudden, unexpected faint he performs especially composed material live onstage. The production had its premiere in July 2000 at Festival Internazionale Inteatro Polverigi and has visited Marseilles, before touring Italian and Norwegian venues this year."

Annette Mürer in Dagbladet wrote:
"As a dance poet Scavetta has a smooth musicality in spirit and body, enchanting to follow either he plays the clown or follows the music into intense devotion... See him suddenly show up underneath the woman's enormous, rotating dress-skirt on an old tricycle, for so eagerly, playfully, pulling the grand piano around the stage. And Jon Balke follows, on the keys. The comedy and tragedy tangle throughout the evening, merging physically when She and He entangled answer each other's movements."
