What is happening?

Three beings appear. They move slowly through the public space. They exist in threes and yet alone, trying to communicate with each other, with the music and with their surroundings. Are they looking at me or looking through me?

The public space is hurled into another age, transformed into a forgotten planet, a futuristic Garden of Eden, in which (post-human?) beings move through in a mixture of dance and performance to the electro-acoustic sounds of composer Matthias Erian.
