The Unit and The Pitfall

After the youngest son attempts suicide on his birthday, the family of four navigates their emotions in a dream-like realm. Longing to connect, they strive to transcend the barriers between them, examining their past and present to uncover flaws and faults. What drives this urge to hide and disappear from the world? How can a family handle disconnection? As they confront feelings of estrangement and hopelessness, they come together through dance and song.
Holger Benedict Seidelin writes, choreographs, and composes "The unit and the pitfall".
