A comical feast of visual music absurdities. Surreal &  just plain stupid, it plays with our dark, our light and our overblown ego through theatrical, musical and physical pieces, that draw upon the questions 'what unites us & what separates us?' Collaborating with award winning visual artist extraordinare Ray Harris, we experiment with illustrations and play with our projections. We dance with the shadow, sing with the dark, absurd ego talk, Patti Smith spark, of musical humour, live visual effects, varied sketches of human aspects, with light and shade and whacked out dismay, of original song, of covered tunes with a cracked view, skewed for you, to peek through. Physical & musical humour at its best.
