WARNING: this film contains adult content, the use of firearms, depictions of violence, and sexual assault.
You know how this story goes: it’s tit for tat, divide and conquer, kill or be killed.
An endless cycle of revenge and oppression. Systems of power perpetuate indefinitely.
But sometimes chaos arises from within the most orderly system; love blooms in a barren wasteland.
In the desolate war-torn future, the Neo-Roman Empire has risen from the cannibalized corpse of our old United States.
We follow the intersecting stories of those in power and those who seek to gain it.
–
Aaron: Emperor Saturninus’ Black entertainer by day, revolutionary by night.
–
Tamora: captured queen of the Native-led Goths, fighting for survival.
–
Bass: queer Black Congresswoman, leader of Rome’s political opposition party.
–
At the center of it all is Lavinia: the ‘mute’ heroine, daughter of General Titus.
…
She who walks between worlds – the voice that leads us through the dark.
Once the victim, Lavinia now smashes the glass and grabs the axe – calling us to awaken and unite against injustice!
–
“TIT” is a kaleidoscopic visual album about finding one’s voice through acts of radical compassion.
