Aimar Pérez Galí invites six players to establish a dialogue on a specific subject while they play ping pong under a set of rules invented for the occasion.

It is a dialectic proposal showing the production of knowledge as a physical bodily practice.

This allows us to observe how the body interferes with the discourse and how the discourse conditions the actions of the body.

All games will be played in Spanish except the one played with Black Tulip, which will be in English.
