Please, have a seat
video-performance, 16’49”, variable dimensions
Please, 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 intelligibility as sound and affect.
The participants in the video were invited to improvise in a setting drafted from the script, without ever having access to the original text. These instructions were intuitively adapted and improvised in real time and became as performative, reacting to what the participants were feeding or ‘writing’ back into the script.
