violence
Footage is shown on a phone revealing a person being punched in a hate crime incident. There is also footage of protest marches and police manhandling and hitting protestors. Brief undetailed war violence includes sight of an explosion.
threat and horror
There are artistic sequences symbolising prejudice, repression and war in which a performer embodies states of fear and distress through costumes, movement and expression.
language
There is use of strong language ('f**k') and milder terms including 'bitch', 'shit', 'piss', 'ass', 'screw', 'hell' and 'damn'.
discrimination
People are subjected to homophobic abuse, including terms such as 'faggot' and 'fag'. A person is asked to leave a supermarket and denied entry to a park, and they are verbally threatened. A person's grandfather is reluctant to accept their identity, and uses homophobic language. There are verbal references to assault, and brief video footage of a person being beaten in a hate crime. Discrimination is clearly condemned by the work as a whole.
drugs
People briefly smoke joints.
injury detail
A person dabs blood from their mouth following an off-screen assault. There are verbal references to the injuries a person sustained in a hate crime attack. As two people gut fish, a TV screen in the background shows a dead body with blood around its head from a TV show. As part of a performance piece, a person covers themselves in a substance resembling blood.
dangerous behaviour
A performance artist wears a wire costume designed to resemble barbed-wire, with the pronged wire close to their neck and face.
theme
A person leaves their country out of fear for their life, leaving their family. We see them become upset about the course of events. A person argues with their grandparents, as their grandfather is unable to accept them as they are.
alcohol and tobacco
Adults drink, smoke and vape.
flashing/flickering lights
This work contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.
