The work addresses themes raised by the dancers; it tells of the problems faced by people with disabilities and the solutions they find. The movement material in the contemporary dance work was created by the dancers, and every movement is important. The themes include everyday bureaucracy, the environment, discrimination, and the power and joy of cooperation. A central theme throughout the work is the recognition of people with disabilities as equal participants in all matters addressed.
