Jarrod Fowler creates a social space where layered one-to-one live encounters with the audience become sonic material.
An open conversation around the history and practices of the Ueinzz Theatre Company – a radical Brazilian schizoscenic theatre company of carers, so-called psychotic patients and philosophers.
