Dundee. Progressive rhythmical guitar squall vs. post-highland discorporate dusk-jockey.
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.

The role of feelings in public life, (political) depression and creative survival.
Jarrod Fowler and Christof Migone kick things off with performances involving edible plants, a saw, dandruff, and Christof responding to the prompt: “as far as you can for as long as you can.”
