ATP001 “This is not your certificate”

In which the emptiness of the form of graduation is tangentially commented upon. Initial words are spoken on the topic of desire, transmission, and plague. An absurd choreography is then improvised: students who have completed an arbitrary amount of training are invited in front of an audience to be celebrated, but the precise moment of celebration is both too early and too late and the audience is chastised. All can plainly see that there is a certificate of graduation in possession of the presenters but the students are given only a handshake and told "This is not your certificate" before being dismissed.
