A beautiful and short performance about communication

Five people go to a karaoke. Each of them chooses the same song: Depeche Mode's ‘Enjoy the Silence’. Each person sings differently, trying to convey something important to them using the same words and sounds. Everyone goes home feeling that something beautiful happened that evening – something was communicated.

We hope that their instincts are right.

This performance is a fantasy about a refuge for the overstimulated, where the response to communication overload and the flood of content competing for our attention is restriction – formal, verbal and theatrical. It is a timid attempt to say a little less, but a little better.
