What people have said about Greg Boring

about

Greg Boring Brisbane, Australia

Greg Boring exists and perpetuates with the fuel of personal disconnection. Performances are devised around avoidances: They don't play with familiarity, they change less, they don't monopolise, they don't sing with words and they don't think about sex.
