A spectacular musical show which discusses the representation of a nation state, its characters and history. A learning play on myth construction and its reproduction.

In this workshop we will imagine ourselves as time travellers from a glorious and chaotic neurodivergent-led future.

Wordless, reverb drenched voice, ghosted electronics, seething and ferocious electronic damage and Patty Waters style vocal mania.
Laser beam sine tones used to draw delicate, abstract patterns by vibrating charcoal, placed atop of a great strip of paper running through the gallery; beautiful, fragile sound-created autonomous drawing.

A Festival supporting the struggle for Sex Workers’ Rights: share knowledge, discuss, dance and strategise!
