It's four in the morning. Christine — a carer, forty-something — is heating a sandwich in a microwave she has an understanding with. Upstairs, they're opening the new wing. Speeches. Free biscuits. Down here, she's doing the checklist.

An audio performance about what gets lost when medicine looks ahead — and what stubbornly persists. On the eve of a genomics research launch at a care facility being quietly transformed: a mug with no name, a father who looked at Christine like the girl who delivers the prescriptions, and what it means to hold a story when science is looking at people who haven't arrived yet.

Voices overlap, pause, return. Time loosens. Sit inside a story, not behind it.

Tender, dark, unexpectedly funny.
