A bathroom stall with a viewing hole remains constant. A portal between states of being, a liminal space where identities dissolve and reform as perfectionism confronts authenticity — through which the audience is invited to question its own voyeurism.

Glory Whole is a collaboration between brutalist sewer-pop trio Grecco Romank and drag-creature Copper MaeSteal. Over 60 minutes, four dream-logic scenes continuously evolve. Each segment a grotesque interpretation of society’s maladaptive tendencies — from over-consumption of fitness culture, to the body-horror of plastic surgery, the psychosexual melodrama of the boudoir before dissolving into a collective communion of self-annihilation.

Audiences move freely through the space alongside performers, experiencing the metamorphosis firsthand, soundtracked by Grecco Romank and Copper MaeSteal's transgressive movement work.
