A male and his female opponent face each other in a grueling fight without winners or losers, inseparably linked by a swarm of black leather rope that prevents escape - like a deathtrap. 
The bodies of the actors, their faces, every movement is captured by a small camera placed on a mechanical object shaped like a spider that moves through the scene projecting its view on two screens placed at the end of the stage. Through its eyes the audience is drawn very close to the performers on stage.
Erna Omarsdottir and Damir Todorovic, chosen for their powerful physicality, move together through a physical code that has nothing to do with the already seen. At the far end of the stage the two video artists Masbedo manage the images on the screens with a video mixer, and the two musicians Lagash and Gianni Maroccolo perform live experimental electronic and more acoustic moments.
The viewer is faced with two dimensions, a more natural and dramatic one as a witness of the primitive and obsessive fight of the two actors and a more "visual" one, more related to fiction, revealing itself trough the pictures and details.
The audio is captured in a very neat way to give the viewer the feeling of  every vibration, noise, pull of the skin and each breath of the two actors.
But Glima does not develop through choreography, music or images, Glima is already a language.
A complex and basic formula which simultaneously is to read, to see, to hear and to listen to, to understand. Step by step.
