Overview
“We’re harpies.
We’re a three headed bitch.
We’ve been guarding the gates.
Now we’re throwing them open.”
A hole in the ground. Three women are forcing their way out.
They’re singing. They’re moving. They’re taking up space. And they refuse to apologise.
“This is a take over. We’re taking over.
You came here to look.
We’re giving you something to watch.”
