With KONTROL Mai continues her exploration of the body in extreme states and creates an intimate and powerful work for the dancer herself. A danced portrait that plays with the specific characteristics of her body, its power and its changes in body contours. The attempt to maintain KONTROL over one's own body is also a desperate attempt to deny the unstoppable decay of the body.
