In a new multinational cultural self-reinvention project set in the future — May 4th 2016 — nine artists have been rounded up to be retrained from to their positions as Swedish massage practitioners — a prior attempt to propel artists into more serviceable civil activities — to stand-up comedians. This will be their first public appearance. In this scenario, art is being no longer administered by middlemen, but governed directly by the top political figurehead. Each 5-minute stand up will be monitored and its quality will be assessed by the current chief of state. This is still unknown to the performers. In fact, what is also unknown to them is that the assignment serves an additional purpose — the performance is in fact a recasting for their next retraining position, in a place not unknown to women.
