Here beneath the moon - a struggle of bodies to be.
A mother's cut cuts a film in half.
(And film is life in exile.)
A question of two.
Her act - this cut - weaves bodies times and worlds naked, brutal, erotic, poetic, comedic.
Its end - paradoxically (perhaps) - a well-known creation myth, updated for our current earth, sign of human desire.
Inflected and infected by cinema time & theater space, Jewish myst & history, porn and language, childhood barred and books on the floor.

A biopoem.
What is it? The thing that crawls, crawls equally over you and the objects of the world? Are you one? Is it you? Are you its?
Sit or stand, it falls.
Architecture and archive - founts of alienation.
Between two encounters which do indeed conclude, something maybe culture abandons a man, and something maybe a man contemplates abandoning a child.
Premiered in 2015 at REDCAT, in Los Angeles. My, but the audience made a lot of noise.
