Ray is a post-punk shapeshifter. He breaks with the laws of gravity in an attempt to find his place in the world: high in the sky, deep underground or somewhere in between.
De Bonk is a performance about being queer, anger, shame, and the overly developed ability to conform to the norm. This ability, developed out of necessity, can provide safety but eventually becomes suffocating.
Seven birds crash into seven windows in seven seconds. Something is seriously wrong. This is a sign, and Ray immediately knows he must take it very seriously. He decides to lock himself in his room and keep the shutters closed until he has crafted a world-shaking speech. Alone in his room, madness creeps under Ray’s skin, along with pleasure, fire, and anger. The thudding of the birds against the windows echoes through his mind like a rhythmic heartbeat that transforms into a pounding beat. As the beat intensifies, Ray grows beyond himself. His thoughts become increasingly radical, and he slowly loses control.
