For Companatico, I wrote a series of toasts inspired by the Georgian Supra (feast) and toasts performed by the Tamada (toastmaster).

Baked into small clay boxes and broken with a clay hammer by the performers, the toasts were about different species of love, betrayal, wisdom, and social provocations.

Kote, the Tamada

Ruso, the pirate inspired by Kathy Acker

Demetre, the social outcast

Darra, the Artemis of the bunch

Taso, the hermaphroditic Tiresias
