8-bit music was being played live like a marching song meets robots in cheerleader uniforms. A bearded man entered the screen, he walked in a mischievous manner. He started ripping paper and suddenly I saw a small silhouette of a small girl trapped in a bright like cage. He pounded the cage with his fist hammering the top of the cage as if freeing her. The small girl ended up being eaten by the mischievous man.

The shadow play started with a woman plucking leaves or petals from a plant or flower behind a decorative back drop. She began to recite, "He loves me, he loves me not". Suddenly a veiled man handed over a teacup to the woman and filled it. A transition occurred with overlapping images of bright planets as if the tea was contaminated with magic mushrooms. The hallucinogenic patterns of lines and textures were deliberately shown while a dragonfly started to hover from the side. The woman grew wings and started to fly.

It started out as a narrative that projected a face that spat out a spring creature that started to wander around. The dreamy landscape was projected with lines, bubbles and color films. The music that played complimented the performance very well as it accompanied the narrative hand in hand till the end. The overall performance was very haptic and tactile, I felt the objects and props were very tangible.
