A table, a net. A ping-pong game. Two professional players keep the ball going as long as possible. A transformation takes place in a choreographic score between two high-level table tennis players. The spectator, freed from all competitive expectations, savors this unusual ballet of seasoned athletes. Everyone wins.

[...] a crash course on the topic of skill—not just the on players’ own virtuosity, which in its precision, focus and risk of failure matched the daring of classical ballet, but on an audience’s own ability to watch.
– Joseph Henry (Canadian Art)
