A place inside a place Places inside of us Your eyes framed We, framed by your eyes
Contained by time A fragment of what could be A vision yours alone
“Receptacle“ Receptacle is a 3 hour-long durational performance. Each audience member only sees one hour of the work. The performers are inside a small room built on stage. The audience watches into the room from the outside through small windows in an unusual perspective of close proximity to the action. Inside, the performers are engaged in creating what could be described as an abstract narrative. Each performer cannot know what the other performers will do. The narrative is constructed in real time. The audience hears the sound through headphones. The performers themselves do not hear the same sound. The relation between the sound and the action is casual, as are most of the (apparently) meaningful relations taking place in the room. Consequently most meaning is individually assembled in the mind of the audience.
