The vanishing meeting
In a room, sitting in a circle of empty chairs, a person talks to their audience about things that might or might not happen. Utterances that look like commands, inquire about the power of imagination.
This work results from the gradual and slow erosion of a group practice into a solo practice. In this new situation, the remaining performer finds in their audience, who is witness but also potentially accountable for the happening, a new accomplice to carry on their task.
Language takes the audience on a journey that begins in the very room they are in and takes off to unfamiliar places.
…the meeting is now reduced to only two people
we know one of us will leave soon
the end seems inevitable
sooner or later this practice will vanish
How did we get here?
