This is a participatory performance exploring how information overload, constant demands, and impersonal systems shape attention, emotion, and embodiment.
A performer enters in a white working suit. A disembodied recorded voice gives precise, repetitive instructions. Actions begin ritualistically and escalate. Sound takes over: typewriter hits, phone rings, overlapping signals, and music build acoustic pressure. The performer follows commands, hesitates, panics, and tries to cope.
Personal and impersonal systems collide. The voice instructs to answer calls: from a bank, a mistaken number, a child. The performer moves between devices, unable to respond to everything at once. Noise accumulates until it becomes overwhelming.
At a point of sudden silence, audience participation begins. Viewers are invited to write a word or short phrase about what worries them. These contributions are collected and physically transferred onto the performer’s white suit, turning private anxiety into a shared visible surface.
The written suit becomes an artefact of the performance — a body bearing collective worry. When all writing is complete, the performer removes the suit and lies on the floor in an embryonic pose. A heartbeat is heard. Just as calm seems to arrive, a phone rings again.
The performance does not resolve but reveals how noise enters us, becomes shared, and reproduces endlessly — and asks if transformation is possible or only temporary.
