At sunset, from a balcony, the seated audience observes the small white moving figure in the distant landscape.
Though far away, the state of mind of the far figure can be deciphered in its movement and trails. Through personal headphones the audience listens to the monologue whose meaning can be understood as description of the view of nature or of my state of mind. The viewer immersed in the reading of the signs of the small figure becomes familiar with the new environment and thus confronts his own emotions and fantasy.


This performance blurs the line between the intimate and distant, the private and the common. In a way it is a declaration of the legitimacy of the romantic, in our seemingly sophisticated culture; A Promotion of Empathy.

This performance blurs the line between the intimate and distant, the private and the common.
