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.

Paul Schifino is a graphic artist. In a tribute to a friend, another local artist, he employs a play on words and images. The Shakespearean "What’s in a name?" takes on an unexpected turn. A pamphlet is supplied for the visitor which allows the work to be recreated at home.
