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.

Happiness is not a place, it’s a direction. The arrow is probably the oldest and most basic of graphic symbols. It is universal in its simple command, “Go this way,” - the primary metaphor of direction that we use every day to navigate through our physical and virtual worlds. The lighted roadside arrow was probably invented first and had to wait around for Edison and Ford to catch up. Meant to be viewed at 60 miles an hour and 30 feet away, they are part huckster, part ad, part message board; it’s the everyman’s sure-fire solution to getting attention, making a sale, driving business. Drive down the street and it’s the everywhere, everyday object. But so ubiquitous are these today that they go largely unnoticed. The only thing that differentiates one from another are the words and letters on the illuminated panel backdrop, authored by a hurried entrepreneur. Larkin collects arrows. Mainly pictures. Hundreds of them. Some artifacts. Start to look for them and they are everywhere. It’s a distraction, just ask his wife. Curated by Katherine Talcott
