A conversation of intergenerational trans-resistance and anti-racist fierceness between two of the most inspiring public speakers we know.
Each of these films addresses place, landscape or location and the personal reaction to their magical or concrete properties.

A multi-speaker, electronic, spacious and spatial performance from Florian Hecker.
How do we gesture to the invisible, the trans or the obscure? A performative conversation between boychild and Fernando, a sharing of gestures, and a bodily back and forth between mathematician and dance artist.
