This live music, narration and projection performance is based on a chapter, about a promotional race between a 5-man bike team and an express train across Siberia, from Alfred Jarry's outrageous 1906 Novel THE SUPERMALE, known on Wikipedia as the "first cyborg sex novel."
The text is interpreted simultaneously in three ways:
On FILM by local celluloid celebrities
Bill Basquin, Paul Clipson, Jerome Hiler, Kerry Laitala
In MUSIC composed by Graham Connah
played live by his crack 8-piece pickup ensemble
By SPEECH through the dulcet and sinister tones
of poet and master orator Brent Cunningham
