Please, have a seat
video-performance, 16’49”, variable dimensionsPlease, have a seat departs from a script exploring how the misuse of language can confront positions of power, revealing the absurdity and awkwardness of two speakers to represent the same phenomena in language. The script explored miscommunication, accents, and language inteligibility as sound.
The participants in the video were invited to improvise in a setting drafted from specific lines and logic of a script, without ever having access to the original text. The instructions were intuitively adapted and improvised to the context and become as performative, reacting to what the participants were feeding or ‘writing’ back into the script.
