calisthenics

Description

Calisthenics is the ultimate self-responsibility game that eliminates all external equipment and transforms your own body into a tool. It is a ritual of collecting trophies of sweat and tears without any embellishment, while forging an unlikely friendship with the floor. Instead of paying gym fees, you turn your home into a punishment arena and shoulder the invisible burden called motivation every day in a tragicomic ordeal. You dance a duet of freedom and loneliness that cannot be assessed by anyone else, a trap you set for yourself in its truest sense.
