They went out in search of a name, but found a body instead.
10 years after a brutal assault left them nameless, Dancing is trapped in the local Library for Broken Books, combing through grievances, manifestos, and silliness on a trial-by-fire fight for freedom from their own self.
Part warehouse party, part tattoo appointment, part philosophical chat on a long drive home, LIAM is a poetry-performance work that, through vulnerability and care, invites us to truly be with our suffering.
