The play explores the complex relationship between humans and machines. It tells the story of Drone living equally in both worlds, who doesn't understand love, her own feelings, or motives and revenge after being deceived by the human. The performance blends a drone-punk aesthetic with elements of comics, sound design, and queer recitative to critique the mercantile anti-hero, Dr. Stoner, who is trapped in the deep Anthropocene.
