The performance is a choreographic research inspired by the paintings of Vrubel, one of the greatest Russian painters of the Symbolist movement and of Art Nouveau. Vrubel later develop a penchant for fragmentary composition and an "unfinished touch". He painted sketches and watercolor illustrations for the long romantic poem of Michail Lermontov “Demon”.

The poem described the carnal passion of "an eternal nihilistic spirit" for a Georgian girl Tamara. Obsessed by the theme of the Demon Vrubel paints three pieces: “Demon Seated”, “Flying Demon” and “Demon Downcast”; in these three paintings Vrubel underlines the spiritual message.

In this performance the demon, belonging to the flesh leads to the death of the body opening the way to a spiritual ascent.
The performance invites the audience to a reflection
