... is an experimental dance, theatre and installation performance, which presents a part-soap opera, part-murder mystery unfolding through six archetypal characters searching for Splenda in a world is built on the same principles as the eponymous artificial sweetener: “It starts with sugar. Tastes like sugar. But it’s not sugar.” The narrative follows the overlapping and contradicting accounts of the main character that emerge after her mysterious disappearance.
