Basiony started to develop a surrealistic dialogue with the rubber surface. Sometimes the interaction was calculated precisely, at other times it became purely expressionistic as if his body were trying to recreate itself to become one with the surface, inspired by the architectural nature of the stage that was originally intended for ancient Sufi dancers.
