At the webpage of zero visibility corp. the following, among other things, is written about AGAIN:

"Is repetition contrary to what gives us meaning?
Is transformation what we are trying to achieve, or perhaps, ideally, to become re-established... as a repeated acknowledgement that we are alive: through the eyes of others, to be seen, loved, or that our actions have significance?

As in so many of Ina Christel Johannessen's works, the questions relating to life's contradictions play a key role. In a carefully constructed composition between the physically visual and audible space, and the dancers' actions, in which closeness and distance exist simultaneously, with strength as well as fragility - it is her desire to portray people and their stories, or suggested stories, which the spectator may read his or her own reality into.

ICJ's performances are characterised by a usually striking physicality. ICJ has gathered a particularly strong ensemble of seven dancers for this production, comprising a broad spectrum of age and experience, though all of them offering a distinctive physical expression, technique and authenticity.

The music for this work has been specially composed by Marcus Fjellström. In works by ICJ, the music and the sound picture are of great significance. She wants the music to be 'physically' present in the work to the same extent as the dance or set design."

Supported by: Arts Council Norway and the Norwegian Ministry for Foreign Affairs/MFA (travel grant/performing arts).
