Running time: 90 minutes
Notes:
The apparatus for Visitors was created so that it could be performed by non-specialized performers. None of the performers are required to memorize lines, for example.
This work for me renewed my interest in the power of speculative fiction. I look to follow this trajectory into future projects where fiction and lying will play a central role to how I approach creating apparatuses for a performing arts context.
