KeepSake, a one-bug show
Welcome to the clinical trial of “KeepSake,” a new AI-operated experimental body scan technology intended to eliminate unwanted memories and treat stored trauma.
On this somatic journey, we pause at key body parts for core memory excavations, surreal dream interpretations, forgotten fantasies, trauma distillations trapped in the body’s crevices. “KeepSake” asks, what are you still storing in your body’s caverns? Who would you be without the parts of you that developed in response to what happened to you? Wanna find out?
As the first test subject of “KeepSake,” B guides us through this one-bug show: a multidisciplinary collage of drag lip syncs, spoken word-poetry, narrative monologues, and theatrical journeying through the brain, the body, and the bussy.
