Skeletons of Fish
T2042369572
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 dispersal of African peoples. Fragments of their past lives, written in the memory, on the body, in their DNA, fossils in the sand, stories from ancient Troy, the Hittite 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 merge together.
