Experiments Reading: SHE SPITS (AGAIN AGAIN)
A lamp indicts her lovers, insisting she has been forced to GNAW ON THE TEPID MEAL OF JUST ENOUGH. A shadow watches and tries to remember THE SOUND A BODY MAKES WHEN IT MOVES. And a hiccupping man wants to watch the news, asking WHAT IS THE FOLLY IN WANTING A QUIET LIFE?
Together they compose a malfunctioning ritual of queer domesticity in a bedroom continuously filled with fraying cords and the interruptions of a prescient radio.
SHE SPITS (AGAIN AGAIN) is a surreal exploration of a fractured family caught in the violent machinery of dysfunction, enmeshment, and erasure. The lamp spits sparks at a man with tequila-soaked skin and masterful avoidance as a shadow attempts to understand that being a witness is not the same as being present.
Each grieves the failures of love as they can.
Even the room mourns.
Even the radio.
Even the light.
Again.
Again.
LOVE IS A GODLESS VENTURE
