A brand new work, devised by a group of Rochester theatre artists in an attempt to answer, challenge and explode the question: what is art? Written by Samantha Marchant and the Devising Ensemble.

Follow the stories of an ensemble of art lovers and haters, doers and viewers as they circle around the question of what art is and how and why or if it should even matter.
Leo Tolstoy asked. You might just walk away with an answer.
