The performance features an AI simulated dialogue on shared trauma of East Asian women oscillating between hyper-competition and confusion's philosophical deconstruction. Framed in the metaphoric style of absurd theatre, the misplaced masks fabricate a delusive scene where dialogue and soliloquy occur simultaneously, the shibari which ropes both lifeline and ligature—embodying the paradox of constraint-as-connection, manifests the schism between societal compliance and subconscious revolt. Each knotted tension becomes a topological map of cultural neurosis.
