 ‘Rattrap’ (2024), Gabriel Abrantes, presented for the first time

Ratzo: I’m here to have a conversation with you. We don’t have much time. only a few minutes, my pet, my sweet, my little cornucopia, my kumquat. So, make use of these minutes. First – I want this to be safe for you, my pet. Does anything offend you? Is there something you’d rather I not talk about. I want this to be safe. A safe space. I want you comfortable. Does sexual conversation offend you? Or maybe there’s a word you would prefer me not to say? You have no TRIGGER WORDS, my pet? I can say any word? Any delicious word at all – even the MOST delicious words? The unsayable deliciousness?
