A performance for dry ice and four specially constructed steel tables, each one heated by a single candle until searingly hot.
Jumping off from Sun Ra’s thoughts on evil, and the Alien films, this performance will explore how the sociality Sondra wants to visualise and participate in has no interest in respectability.
