DELUSIONAL PARASITOSIS I or (DP 1) is a solo show and part of a trilogy by L9, an artist duo/group co-founded in 2020 by Cruz and Nanna K. Jensen.
This show revolves around the notion of "blood" as an interlink between esoterism, proto-science, and dystopia. It navigates around the idea of the leech as a divine/demonic being representing fear and control, a parasitizing entity that intermediates between humans and a higher power.
