written, composed, vocals, art* by Ruth Margraff, director Beth F. Milles, guitar Ignatius Valentine Aloysius, violin Beltrán Del Campo, editing Adam Cooper-Terán and Ruth Margraff

*with painting (in video) by Joe Boudreau 1960-2018

TEMPTATION: CHORA's poem objects are painted antique frames from a neighbor's family tree. Some larger m/other (Apothecary) turns away to resume her own nature. Her subtext grows thick as paint. A ghastly figure (Ambergris) must refuse the madness of loving disaster. Camouflage is “torn like a rose” at this forbidden boudoir.
