We are all chasing a memory, as our perception of time transcends a linear existence. This work is a love letter to DJ's, playlists, mix tapes, and the price of time pounding away the past, as we are repeatedly erased and remade anew, said producer, director, writer, choreographer, editor, said Breton Tyner-Bryan.
