Description |
TOYER is a ‘cat and mouse’ psychological thriller that addresses humanity’s vast ability to manipulate one another, our moral lawlessness, our wondrous gift for lying and the awful power of charisma. It is about our capacity to absorb mindless horror as well as our immediate power to forgive. A ‘Toyer’ is someone who toys, a mass paralyzer who toys with their victims. It is not murder, or rape, but seduction leading to immobilization. |
