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.

Artist and musician David Pohl's environment turns old record players (picked up in secondhand stores) into a series of expressive altars, whose insistent sounds evoke the repetitive mantras of Eastern spirituality. Other elements, often obsessively worked, sustain the concept of both universal and private religious experience.
