About the work:
Two musicians stare intensely into each other's eyes and engage in a staring contest. If their opponent blinks, a chain of consequential sonic and performative responses are set into action.
Eventually, myriad instructions that have been fed to the performers' earphones end up being addressed directly to the audience, who are invited to engage in various reactive games involving blinking, vocal percussion, deep listening, both with fellow audience members and the on-stage performers.
