SYNOPSIS

A scriptwriter and a performer having a conversation in a taxidermist’s studio. They attempt to come up with a performance, exploring the relationship between ‘gestures’ and ‘horrors’. The conversation revolves around two events from Japanese Taiwan during World War II: a zoo's animal memorial ceremony and the 1944 mass animal execution.
