In the Lounge Fear of Revolution II Sonja Blum

About This Show

Through the methodology of a collage, the performance weaves through personal ruminations of a depressed neurologist and a unicorn, mixed with historical references and quotes of revolutionary texts, and framed using live projection… exploring the mind games we play with ourselves, within comfortable complacency and when a person must stand their ground.
