Shattered Paradise is a visceral journey of repetition, disruption and transformation. A girl rotates around a cycle of four stations; a microphone, a keyboard, a couch and a guitar, symbolic of exploring different emotional and existential modes whilst trying to function in the system that has been handed down. Through fragments of music and poetry, Shattered Paradise asks us to look at how cycles can both liberate and suffocate, and how disrupting our sounds, our words and our cycles can be survival and resistance.
