PERFORMANCE @ MEGARON UNDERGROUND
In an undefined emptiness, a cosmic being of unclear gender sways gently on a swing. Forehead large, belly swollen, with child or just ideas.
Omnipotent and always there, from before the beginning. Immortal, and restless. Ever in need of a companion: an imperceptible presence, a shadow-figure who slips through the surrounding darkness to make this peculiar cosmos spin.
