Catacombia is a fictitious colony with nomadic inhabitants
prowling convenient spaces with the intent to labor using predominantly mime to
produce non-commoditized complex products. As an imaginary realm Catacombians
experience no poverty or wealth and the concept of ownership is non-existent.
The stages of growth from infancy to adulthood are instant and the same is with
the transitions of maturity. Intelligence, talent and genius have no
qualitative metric, except that work is defined as being alive through labor,
which is the energy source of all inhabitants.
Without working a Catacombian could lose life force and be transformed
into a static working tool.
