In the 1960s, survivors of a MK-ULTRA psychiatric program bring their voices together to dramatize their experience of unwitting participation; here, a composite character-study of one woman’s decent into an institutional vortex. An experimental non-fictional narrative about a documented fictional narrative. Repurposing the body-politic & Nuremberg Code, Article 6, Section 3 – Informed consent declaration; Institutional coercion/subjugation; medical ethics. Improvisational tapestry of celluloid, digital & found image/sound materials.

Interweaving the lyrical, personal & political; exploration of authentic topographies, geographies, history, personal memory, voice & subjugated corporeality.
