    As a group of neighbors struggle to be in community with one another, a chimeric sea monster begins to pick them off one by one. Everyone transforms as they learn how to show up for each other, envision new anarchic utopias, and fold in the audience to brainstorm how we too can be better at crafting localized power.

    Someone is being haunted by the ghost of their father who is not dead yet. In an attempt to kill the ghost, Someone embarks on a metaphysical journey through the cultural touchstones of their past and present. Drawing loosely but heavily from the Natyashastra, the play moves through a series of classical Indian theatrical forms fused with more contemporary media, i.e. Scooby Doo plus Sanskrit drama.
