Program Note

On an eerie full moon night, a man with ties to India’s fascist political party and loose morals boards a train to go on a date. Unbeknownst to him, there is a woman on the train with tentacles and a voracious appetite for fascist men with loose morals. A race against time ensues as a thunderstorm comes beating down, and the man runs for his life, chased by the monster who treats her prey like Chewing Gum and strips away his masculinity one layer at a time.
