Slapstick comedy, monologue, and a kind of live sculpture transformed through video, props, musical instruments and make-up.
Acoustic turntable, engines, trumpet and accordion joined by Bassist Magarida Garcia: build long-form quietly detailed pieces that clatter and rumble, that expand and contract with the tension and release of deeply held breath.
