Zaman's latest solo performance explores the link of justice to income disparity with a healthy dose of insight from the "inside".
In this incendiary piece the price of relationships are examined where psychosexual desires drive both hero's and villains. In this harrowing and at times humorous play from Zaman we are confronted with our preconceived notions of right and wrong and the true nature of redemption.
"Stripped of the reassuring trappings of a conventional narrative, this barebones tale conveys a rich message in a stark environment. While devoid of introductory niceties this everyman demonstrates his resistance to being 'processed' through the same sort of system that turns a living turkey into a nitrate-laden plastic-encased slice of dead meat. This transmogrification and its own ultimate betrayal results in the final objective of equanimity being achieved with a self-possessedness worthy of a crystalline mountain lake staring down the sun. The redolence of imminent violence pervades an atmosphere unconstrained by any vestiges of traditional morality. It is sex, or the intimations thereof, that takes the audience through the vicissitudes of this story. A story of identity disintegration with its own concurrent collateral damages and a redemptive ending that demands rehabilitation, not cognitive stabilization." - Robert Eisenberg (Boychicks in the Hood)
