Whoever said love thy neighbour obviously didn’t live here. Suzanne moves into the building to start a new life, not suspecting that her subsidized status will spark Chad`s powder keg of issues. Between her demons and his, their relationship becomes possessive, strange and volatile. Co-written with Kern Albert, this latest installation in DM St. Bernard's 54ology uses domestic allegory to consider the resentment that can develop between refugees receiving aide and their native hosts.
