A somehow hyper-modern, ancient and folkloric lip-synced, made-up, fashioned performance.

5 days of film, music, discussion and study of our collective incompleteness—arrayed against the colonial ordering of how we come to know the world—practicing how we might exist otherwise, right here and now. Can we start to know and practice the world to come?
