An extravagant debauch of huge pianos, plush toys, cognac and ritual.

An evening of live performances, readings & saucy rococo cakes celebrating the launch of Truth and Lies – An Anthology of Writing and Art by Sex Workers.
Beyond time, colorlines, ability, and sexuality, a movement exploration into what it means to see and be seen, how hearing contrast with what is actually being heard.

A silent collage of found film footage partially layered with computer graphics to provide a framework in which live music can develop.
