Two performers, a writer and a musician, improvise on stage at the abyss that separates words and things. There, they search for ways into a queer speaking, to free the bodies from the names and concepts they have been given. In their performance, they tirelessly develop ways of acting that challenge a human-centered understanding of language. Together they practice deconstructing language and using language not as a means of appropriating things (I name them, therefore they are mine,) nor as evidence of human superiority, but as an eternal dialogue between intangible beings. Within this dialogue, worlds/words can be created.
