Walking from offstage on and off again in one direction. Perpendicular lines. Never repeating the action. When 2 walk, they move in parallel. When 4 walk, they form a square. Occasionally elements of a square stop and freeze in place. When 8 walk, all remaining performers walk in a continuous square around the previously frozen performers. This does not necessarily happen before the end of the piece. When all performers have frozen, the action has ended. All actions are accompanied by recitation of described text. Recitation does not stop when a performer freezes, until all performers have frozen in place. This piece is meant to be accompanied by primary colors.
