This play is a reflection on the (im)possibility of accepting diversity and the other. The fragmented body of the neoplasm—the fruit of unstable conditions—overcomes barriers, loves and denies itself and others, wanders around, forgetting its profession. It frequently and with pleasure divides, goes through dangerous palpation, questions the possibility of contact with the experience of the other. Poorly brought up but very successful, it invites us to a trans-species transition.

The work is delving into subject/object interplay. Impersonal and the personal. The gaze. Oral and Literate Culture. Storytelling through seven performative lessons delivered throughout the entirety of the exhibition. Varied forms of didacticism utilizing a linguistic approach teaching the unique, and irregular, English letter combinations. This approach initiates functionally illiterate students into the arcane mysteries of the English language, opening for the reader the "Thousand Most Common English Words" as well as thousands more in associated "word families."
