A workout session is an opportunity for an imaginal drift, with sounds drawn from Baroque music and the entertainment world, capable of redefining the very sense of physical exercise.

Their work has been presented at museum institutions and festivals including the Venice Biennale, MAMbo in Bologna, the Gender Bender Festival, and the Romaeuropa Festival.
