I thought I was looking for revenge … but I guess now I’d settle for forgiveness.
Two people appear on a snow covered stage.
One has travelled far carrying a stolen Uber Eats bag. They are also carrying a gun and a book of contacts.
The other sits improvising at a piano.
Dogs bark in the distance, cars speed by on a distant highway…

The uncertainty is colossal, the drive for resocialisation large... A sensually intense balancing act.
