Mitosis

Mitosis, a contemporary, voluptuous musical comedy conceived by American and Zurich-based singer and performer Brandy Butler, blends music, science and introspection to rethink the end of life. The story could be that of a loved one or a stranger, a life turned upside down by a fatal medical diagnosis. It recounts the betrayal of the body, biomedical objectification and the struggle between living and letting go. At the same time, a once-banned substance resurfaces: LSD, which seems to ease the fear of dying.
