A performance study in long distance ventriloquism. Having your voice possessed by another ... speaking words you've never thought ... conversing with the thin air ... translating for the sake of it ... remote control.
A study in long-distance ventriloquism: phone rings, performer picks up and she (in this instance Jan Peacock) says what I say, becoming the conduit/the translator between the audience and I; at the same time a peculiar relationship is created between the one speaking and the one repeating. what I say is unscripted and meanders between various tones. I hang up a couple of times and call back.
