Canary in the Goldmine
ONLINE Aug. 6-8

With a partner sickened by electro-hypersensitivity (a.k.a. "microwave sickness"), Mirin has become part of a landmark suit against the FCC, but instead of an earnest public health lecture, Mirin has raided his son's Lego stash to make us an eco-justice mock-umentary that's just like theatre...only flatter.
