"Fase" consists of three duets and one solo dance, choreographed to four repetitive compositions by the American minimalist musician, Steve Reich: Piano Phase, Come Out, Violin Phase and Clapping Music.

The purely abstract movements are executed so perfectly that they seem almost mechanical and yet affect us in a strange way.
