Twelve men have been blasted through time, re-born in the sweltering, sulphur-filled air of the prison-asteroid Planet Alabama. . Looking back light years, the prisoners pick at the bleached bones of the history of the African diaspora. They remember scenes from their past lives, written in the memory, on the body, in their DNA fossils in the sand. Fragments and stories from ancient Troy, the Hittie Empire, Mississippi, Buenos Aires, Kemet, Strangeways, LA, North London and Greece are conjured to life as they enact a series of compelling rituals. Strange fetishes, furious word-smithery, Butoh dance, timeless drumming, hip-hop rhythms, cyber-imagery all melt and merge in the time-warp. The pressure's rising in this full-on, fast-talking, sky-walking, myth-making last-ditch dash for freedom.
