THEN I WENT TO LIFE

By placing a mirror in front of desire, we follow 5 interviewees and 6 performers who engage in a dialogue about how the fine line between desire and compulsion is navigated. Considering the hyper exploitation of desire through applications, what is freedom within a capitalist system that "liberates" while also oppresses?
