The artist has constructed mechanical carousels from which a host of characters and objects rotate and dangle.
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.

Tom Sarver is a puppeteer. Having only two hands, he has constructed mechanical carousels from which a host of characters and objects rotate and dangle. They seem to present a narrative which, with time, becomes compelling and obsessional.
