"Threads" is conceptualized as a communicative process akin to “play”, focusing on the interactions between two participants. It examines game mechanics and the interpersonal dynamics that occur during a playful situation. The emphasis is on facilitating an environment where participants engage in a communicative exchange. "Threads" involves various elements that, once being activated, connect the participants, fostering this exchange. 

The game is framed within an interaction space containing a score with potential instructions and various ludic objects. The objects abstract, sculptural nature invites exploration and is intrinsically linked to the score by its shape. Players interpret both the score and the ludic objects, creating unique meanings and solutions through their interactions. The game's essence lies in this collaborative engagement, where each play situation is new and player-dependent. 

"Threads" is comprised of two parts: the game itself and the process of creating the score and the objects. Everyday gestures, abstracted and transformed into movement sequences, serve as the source material, eventually shaping both the score and the objects through the physical presence of the performer
