Electronic music, time, thought, the word, and consecutive matters
A performance for projectionist, musicians and audience, which plays with references to Oscar Levant and Gershwin: apparently a series of small doses of chaos.

The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
