A dance party love letter to our community, expressing the joy of relation in the abstract and through actual physical proximity.
Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
Somewhere between performance, stripped down theatre and an intense kind of public learning or maybe even a public hearing.
