The muscle that drives everyone, even the heartless.
The heart. The muscle. The pump. The organ. Symbol. Metaphor. The muscle that drives everyone, even the heartless. A pump that is tormented by the clutter of everyday life. Hypertrophies, loosens, fibrillates. A metaphor as hot as fire or as cold as ice. A symbol that can withstand anything, even life in a cage. An organ that saves lives. Food for dogs. A muscle that stretches and contracts and stops spontaneously when it has had enough. A performance that expands or contracts according to the context it enters. It can take the form of a 3-day event or a 60-minute extract.
