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.

Artist Statement
When I moved to Hamtramck I felt like I was in a foreign city. In order to contextualize and understand the place, I made myself a Sound-Collecting Suit. I immersed myself in the project of collecting the sounds and voices of the neighborhood. The suit acts as a catalyst to engage people on the street while giving me a uniform to do my job as an artist.
Exhibition
Jessica Frelinghuysen received her BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and her Master of Architecture from the Cranbrook Academy of Art. She sculpts objects to help negotiate social anxieties and continually seeks to reconcile the separation between the individual and society. When encountering a new place, she will usually spend a long time observing, sketching and trying to figure how she fits into a particular environment. She is not afraid of the absurd; in fact, she appreciates the importance of humor as a vehicle. Currently living in Detroit, Jessica is a lecturer at Stamps School of Art and Design at the University of Michigan.
