The Yoko Ono Cult follows the divergent artistic journeys of sisters Elle and Emme. The latter sprints down the path trodden by their late mother; the former strays from it at every opportunity. A multi-talented and prolific artist, the sisters’ mother ended her life on stage performing a highly inadvisable stunt. In the aftermath, she has left behind two young artists who could not look upon her legacy in much more different a manner. Observe as stars rise, cogs turn, temperaments clash, puppets dance, and a sum total is created which exceeds itself.
