We invite audiences from around the world and around the corner to step inside, immerse and connect with the artistic process.

Rev. Kyoki Roberts

No where to go; Nothing to do: Just Sitting

2003

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.
