The title is an invented word composed by abra – (Fr. lat.) Fissure on the ground produced by the effects of seismic movements, and sis – (Fr. gr.) Action, process of formation.

Abrasis draws a crossover between “anguish” and “angina” by recomposing and re-performing audio quotes from different movies. Two similar actors perform as if they were one and, simultaneously, two different characters. The dividing line between them is an almost indistinguishable fissure that sometimes disappears, allowing them to connect as one again.
