Invasions performance — the poet reading and replying live to scam texts on stage

Invasions is a poetry performance built from scam texts, capitalist language, and machine hallucinations. On stage, the poet reads and replies live to digital debris, transforming scams into songs, interruptions into incantations. The piece is part comedy, part ritual, part call-and-response. It invites us to find tenderness inside the noise, and to ask: what do we owe our ghosts?
