An unpredictable and riotous performance that unpicks what it is to be in an argument, and how we win and lose while our trousers are down.

The piece inhabits a universal setting around a table, with 5 performers and a piano. This could be a rowdy pub, UN Security Council or a family dinner in some colonial haven. The group appropriate provocative actions and statements, like puppets, discussing who owns what, who should listen to whom, and what is, or isnt ok to say.

Elegant and hauntingly simple piano studies, by Matteo Fargion, punctuate a formal, tight, rhythmical, structure, within which these messy, confusing ideas exist. Creating a jolting disruption, the work provokes questions on the absurdities of political stances, self-belief, power, manipulation and confrontation. Through it all there is a slow sense of undoing, revealing how the physical, animal body exists within these intellectual and political constructs.
