A series of drawings are used as a score for ating. These images portrait different representations of the devil in hell. Among these devils, there are feminized characteres suggesting sexual perversions typified in the Catholic imagination. Performer Paeatau interprets and reacts to these drawings using her body and her facial expressions in a ritualistic performance in which the body, fetichized and colonized by morale, laments.
