Intriguing, underground, Berlin based musicians interested in the borders between music and theatre, language, the visual arts, politics.
A parody of a (Manhattan) road movie and meditation on bifurcation, in paths traveled between the seen and the heard; a road trip played over and over from different perspectives.
