Driven by the search for a connection that gives meaning to its existence, a mutant being breaks free from its cycle of captivity to face an urbanized world dominated by electronic ruins and collapsed structures. In this quest for identity, it moves between the artificial and the organic, between the dreamlike and the real, trying to define itself in a constantly changing universe.

An Exemplary Punk

“We didn’t want to be anyone’s role model, and no one considered us their role model. Ever since our first slam together, I knew we were going to be connected forever. You also understood the power of that catharsis and not resigning yourself. This is a farewell with the same intensity of that dance, an opportunity for validating contradiction and for us to meet one last time at that place where we most enjoyed being, where no one would tell us who we had to be.”
