room/in/nation tests our agency amidst family dysfunction/nation dysfunction.

three performers wearing plain white or black tanks/tees are mid gesture as if having a family argument.

Behind them, another performer looks to be yelling and pointing at the third performer, a hand on their shoulder, who has eyes closed, a soft smile, and holds their fingertips to the center of their chest.
