That day I photographed my mother who looked like Pina Bausch when she cried.
A transgender actor is interviewed to join a group, the Social Disaster Club. Strange stories come to light, with music, polyphonic songs and a mysterious voice interrupting the narration. RAW EGGS is a new dramaturgy about the oppression and defense of freedom, how we might subvert a domineering environment to permit peculiarity to triumph and trace the poetry of bravery in the mythology of reality. It’s so tragic. So fun.
— Artemis Chrysostomidou
