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 in a futuristic universe, examining new ways of expression and exploring topics with a sardonic slant, electronic compositions, hilarious polyphonic songs

and contemporary performative elements.

​

Do you feel this emptiness too?
