Description The work is disarmingly simple - exploring in depth the moral conundrum of what one should do if one comes across a person throwing rocks at a sitting duck - but gradually becomes increasingly complex. Accompanying the text is a rhythmic electronic soundscape and intense physical choreography shifting from the unnecessary and incongruous to the comic and strangely affecting. Gunn calls into question the ethics of intervention with a confrontation on peace and conflict, moral relativism, and the very function of art.
