A new music and dance commision with Sugar Vendil

4 o'clock in the afternoon. The air is thick and hot. Eying a table and bench made of wood, we find a cozy spot underneath a covered patio. Condensation forms on the outside of my plastic cup and runs down the back of my handarefreshingly cold against the vibrating heat. Ice cubes clash inside the container, melting into the green tea liquid. I am look forward to taking a sip of this cool refreshment.
