In this work Bill takes dance and takes the stories of his past and turns them into movements which express what he has felt. He takes stories like the one his grandmother told him when he was little; "They wrapped them up in bags and burned them, and one asked the man for a cigarette and he cut of his penis and said here smoke this." Another story went like this, "My grand mother wanted to go help one of her friends while she was trying to raise a baby. She asked if she could go but she wouldn't let her. She tried anyway but was caught then was beaten in front of all of her children. Bill's uncle tried to stop it but broke his finger." Bill"s influence is everywhere in this work. .
             The message that Stowe and Bill are trying to get across was the fact that back in the day people were terribly mean, and did not understand that true meaning of life meant freedom, and to be happy. They took it upon themselves to take away others freedoms, and make there life a living nightmare. .
