Each bloom, without a caretaker, experiments with improvisational jams. The now-mad scientists reshape the thick air with rounder renditions of their reshaped selves. Like far-out stars, they examine the uncharted mandala. Our residual acid spawns freeform, and these other ones evolve into riffs on rebellion. Out front, the danseur trips the light fantastic; on stage, the phantasmal deluge whips up frenzies against the melodic dissolve.
