An audio/ video, lecture/ performance exploring the queer and companionly inter-activity of human-animal relations.
Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.

Michael Colligan pressing white hot metal into dry ice, causing the metal to sing and scream.
