This poetical and challenging piece follows the dreamlike political path set by the artist in her first works. The words spoken, sung, whistled, screamed, and grunted by Zizi Zozio, all dressed up in feathers, speak of a heavy past and of an abused sexuality, a damaged childhood, and the impossibility of love.
