Artists include: Minako Seki dancer, Ahmed Soura dancer, Johannes Lauer trombone, Bodek Janke drums, Phillip Gropper saxophone

Minako Seki
When inside of you a hungry parasite makes itself
noticed by its greedy smacking, living from your
memories, then feed it with your body as well until
constantly growing
it has devoured all of you.
Then let it dance.
That is all.
