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

A collaborative performance where sound and image are created, performed and mediated by light, water and glass.
A multi-media harp and spoken word tribute to the incalculable, the in-deducible, the suspicious static noise that accompanies the voice of truth, and the attempted aberrations in the domain of emergence.
