A solo performance / homage to Isabella Rossellini’s “Green Porno”

"It's a meticulous, funny, and amazingly articulate document of the mind fuck of modern love and existence as an affectionate human. Also the sheer confusion that comes of having a body these days: 'I'm fertile, I'm healthy, it's disgusting. It's so gross.'"

Two sperm are delivered to the ovule. One fertilizes the egg, forming the embryo, while the other creates a protective layer surrounding it. This seed becomes a mature reproductive machine, converting energy from a single spotlight. 135 million years later humans appear.
