At the edge of my vision, I see a figure in neoprene creep up behind people in the back row, left. IT’S THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL VORTEX QUEEN FROM LINDA STUPART AND CARL GENT’S DIY ARTISTS’ PLAY ALL OF US GIRLS HAVE BEEN DEAD FOR SO LONG, WHICH, OF ALL PLACES, PREMIERED HERE IN THE ICA THEATRE LAST JUNE! Know that this place hasn’t always been multidimensional. At one point during Stupart and Gent’s play, the Vortex Queen unleashed a significant vortex in the venue’s then regular theatre space, multiplying dimensions. I watched it happen, own eyes.

What I understand is:
1. Everything around me came from another timeline, or my own,
2. Which doesn’t feel very reliable,
3. Hell looks a bit like the underworld and once there, you can find crystals and eggs and slime and salty liquids,
4. These things are sensual like song lyrics,
5. If I am playing the game, then like an avatar I can collect endless things in my pocket and regenerate continuous

The traumatised body and the ruined world overlap; it is unclear which is an analogy for the other.
