Official synopsis Publisher
In past ages, the primary purpose of food was to fortify the body and to bring the spirit in closer contact with the gods. Today, however, through the decayed state of the social structure, its primary purpose, among all who are not starving, is to entertain and to declaim one’s STATUS and to display a flaccid costume of COMMUNITY. The Neo-Decadents, instead of rejecting this sorry state, embrace it, shouting loudly from the cafés and rooftops to the crowded boulevards, summoning both the curious and the confounded. Some exist on diets of cartilage, worms, or fried brains, while others sip dew from flowers and turn away from rancid flesh with disgust. All embracing, however, we are able to see the ULTIMATE in countless actions. We simply DEMAND WAKEFULNESS.
