Monster
What is a monster and what does the word conjure up?
Things that frighten us things that come out of the dark our own undersides that we can’t control and/or don’t want to face…
Monster is a triptych in three duets, Society, Addiction, and Relationship.
Society becomes a monster, when it disrupts love out of disapproval for the sexual disposition of two lovers, who struggle against the pressure from outside them.
Addiction’s monster devours humanity and all human connection.
Relationship itself becomes monstrous when two people cannot disentangle tenderness from rage or separate love and mutual destruction.
