Saippuakauppias	The public gathers loosely in front of a large screen that (like a huge window) opens up onto a seemingly empty space. Dancer Beppie Blankert is standing with her back towards the screen, moving slowly - absorbed in herself. Suddenly something flashes by on the projection behind her, a shy creature in gold and green - hides, then comes back - tiptoeing - curiosity and attraction taking over.
. The dancer on the screen is Echo, waiting for Narcissus' slightest move in order to follow it. Eventually, they dance together; the telepresent figure being an echo or shadow or the picture in the mirror
		The two spaces have merged . This is carefully rehearsed; the cues of who follows who regarding the time lag, markers on the wall as focal points for the absent dancer's gaze, stickers on the floor marking the range of the camera and the spot for closeups. The simple plot gives the performers room for incidental progression and improvisation.
A special tenderness developed towards the absent dancer - in the rehearsal period and during the show, finding an outlet when the public is invited to come within reach of the camera to applaud and chat. The low frame rate, lagging and delay clearly indicate the material has become marked by its journey through time and space. On the internet, one is usually unaware of distances, but the distorted video images let us again feel the urgency of remoteness.
