An isolated young black man who leaves reality behind to become a giant Octopus.

The octopus transformation: tactile, grotesque, weirdly erotic.
Sound
Underwater audio design that makes your chest ache.
Acting
Okwesa against himself: two performances, one suffocation.
Director
Kent Okwesa
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
