Experiencing Interruptions?

Meccanismo

The factory is the natural backdrop of a big city. Are routine human actions similar to the mechanical movements of tools or the coordinated work of gears? Together with the dancers, we will go through the entire cycle of operation of the mechanism, from its arrival at the workshop, startup, system adjustment, until its complete failure. Let's trace the life of the gear through a series of shifts, routine, monotonous and repetitive actions, intensive and careless operation, due to which the entire mechanism, not just one of its parts, becomes unusable.
