Performance

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.

Poorly brought up but very successful, it invites us to a trans-species transition.

Expressionless, he busily arranged and rearranged unrelated objects on a small table in front of him. He concentrated on a miniature television set that was really a pencil sharpener, a tin fish which he wound up with a key and set down to move in circles. Fingers constantly moving, he reached into bags for more articles, consulted a written plan, and pulled gadgets from a suitcase.
