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.

A performed filmic conversation on queer and black world making.

Repetitive, mesmerizing rhythmic workouts, to pieces of stark and rigorous introspection, where notes picked and slid in isolation, scatter like mercury around the listener.
Each organ is unique. The project is to find out what makes it unique.
