Long Stringed Instrument performance involving up to 100 wires strung in tension over a 40m arch.
A somehow hyper-modern, ancient and folkloric lip-synced, made-up, fashioned performance.

Jumping off from Sun Ra’s thoughts on evil, and the Alien films, this performance will explore how the sociality Sondra wants to visualise and participate in has no interest in respectability.
A preposterously heavy, eye of the storm musical tug of war, in which two drummers, electronics and electric guitar fall over each other in a droning crush.
