AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'In the back of a stationary truck, the audience discover an unlikely bedchamber, where they are invited to relinquish into a stranger's embrace. In a moment of fleeting closeness, which is charged with the im/possibility of sexual contact, both audience member and performer become engaged in a meditation on a fundamental human desire: the necessity of intimate touch, to hold and be held in the arms of another. The audience and performance embrace silently for a period of fifteen minutes, during which time anything can happen.' (Source: Sarah-Jane Norman website)
