In the House of Shouters
If you enter the small dark space you will find yourself surrounded by three life-size human video projections. Two women and a man.
If you stand still, the three characters will silently repeat a pattern of awkward, faltering gestures around you. They seem to be caught in an extended moment just before articulation.
Occasionally their eyes may catch yours. If you move forward in-between the three characters, they will all begin chanting their own inner-monologue. You may feel as if they are speaking directly to you.
If you move towards an individual character, the others will become silent as the one you have approached starts to speak. Sometimes they talk to each other. They almost have a conversation; one person speaks and then another. But there is no connection; in this dialogue you are the only one listening. In this dialogue, like many others, your timing and intimate proximity determines what you will discover.
