You cannot distract us
from the fact that
you're doing heinous shit
by doing other heinous shit.

We have the capacity
to condemn it all.

We have the will
to resist it all.

"Some of us see this as a responsibility. Do you get that?"

At Progress Lab rehearsing Sound of the Beast with Rumble Theatre in preparation for Awaken Festival at Gwaandak Theatre. Feeling fortunate to get back into the boots and onto the mic. Can't wait to share this work with Whitehorse.
