In four chapters with a moving frame, ElseWhere Rhapsody experiments with both the poetic and political dimensions and powers of desire.

Through a collage of images, poetic streams and polyphonic ballads, a form of utopia with queer horizons emerges, between stacks of hay, a plug and fertile soil.

In a state of incompleteness, repetition is key as if to represent the limitless nature of desire and its surroundings.

Behind the nonsensical and humorous nature of the scenes performed by the four performers lurk philosophical reflections. How is desire born? What is the function of memory? What is the value of things?
