This performance explores the pleasures and terrors of personal hygene. Rituals of grooming (brusshing, flossing, shaving, showering) are stylized to contort the body. The road to beauty is paved with ugliness. The performance climaxes in an operatic flourish of powder and juilance with a re-mixed sample of "Flower Duet".
