MANIPULATION
AND OTHER ROMANTIC STORIES

While social norms still cover violent actions stemming from patriarchal motives under the guise of “love”, sarcasm and irrationality are illuminated through the relationship of a couple and their manipulative psychologist, examining contemporary ways of expression in a futuro-baroque theatrical universe with electronic compositions and hilarious polyphonic songs.

​

Do you feel this emptiness too?
