A subtle and playful work on conventions, expectations and perception. The project explores the notion of being singular plural, through an «interpassive simulator of the imaginary». As in an audio guide, or a fake indoctrination machine, you are guided through the piece by the dancers voices, through headphones, hanging from the ceiling — connecting you directly to the theatre machinery. The voices are commenting, interpreting and associating on the space, the situation and what is happening — with individual differences, depending on where you are sitting. This creates an intimate relationship between the audience and the dancers on stage.
