Did you feel the need of closing your eyes at any time? If yes, do you remember when and why?
no, not that I remeMber
YES, HALF WAY, DISTRACTED BY A FERRY
No I didn't
Yes I felt the need of closing my eyes, I did it at the end of the performance when only the voice was speaking
I did, to pause and amplify the impact on my body
I did, I don't remember when, I do remember why, because I felt a space was opening up that was easier to merge with when closing my eyes, a parallel plane existing alongside and containing the one we where gathered in

Did you feel the urge or temptation to take the headphones off? If so, do you remember when and why?
no, maybe at the very beginning that I found it a bit loud/intense... after it was the opposite, I sometimes would have liked to have it even a bit louder
NO
I did not

3.
Did some things interrupt your attention? If yes, what?
yes, sometimes thoughts, sometimes the fact that there was a lot of noise (different voices) - so the interruption was in my head and in the external world - through different voices
YES, A FERRY IN TH BACKGROUND
Yes, there were people walking nearby and some even came and sat down for a little while near me so I looked at them. The sky was also getting dark and stars were coming out so I look at that.
Nothing interrupted my attention
people passing by, voices in the background, soundscapes from here and there
Can attention be interrupted? It seems to me what can be interrupted is the object of attention and the flow of information but not attention/awareness

4.
Did you feel there was something being concealed from you, gaps or missing information? If yes, what do you think gave you this feeling?
yes. that the different stories/ sentences often didn't make any sense to me... like the connection between them was missing. same with the 3 dancers, there was not really an obvious connection between them - so there was a lot of gaps/space in general
Only in the sense that I couldn't always understand the words in the headphones/speakers, especially when there were multiple voices at once - and in languages I don't know.
Yes, what gave me this feeling was the directing of the gaze through the lights the disrupting of the sense of space through the headphones and speakers and the actual live sounds, the placement of the performers, the possibility that the landscape could be inhabited by hidden performers active in the shadows.
yes. There is always a degree of concealment. A choice, conscious or unconscious always entails leaving out most of what there is.

What happened inside your head, next to what was happening around you?
for a part my mind tried to use that space that was given me to fill something in, trying to create some sense for me/something I could relate/connect to. sometimes there were other thoughts coming up (not directly connected with the performance), sometimes my mind was drifting off quite far into this open space - kind of becoming spacious, not being able to grasp something specific
TRYING TO FOCUS IN THE VOICE WHILE IT WAS MOVING IN SPACE WHILE THE DANCES WERE MoVING ELSEWHERE
My head was very busy looking at the different dances, the light sources, etc. I was trying to make meaning out of it and also forming my own interpretations.
During the performance my head was completely light and stimulated, open to receive any colours, sensations, lights and movement that was happening. It was like to be completely absorbed in everything, inside the performance.
how would I know? do you mean thoughts or images I had?

6.
Do you think you saw or heard things that were not there at any moment, questioning what was actually happening? If yes, what?
yes, I guess... I could feel/see that kind of space (almost like a different universe), bit like being in space - so actually the space appeared more full as it was
No, I don't remember this
No, but I did have a sense of something hidden and secret being revealed or activated permeating the performance

7.
Did you feel to any extent a co-creator of the piece? If yes, in what way?
no, not really
YES, THROUGH BEING AWARE OF THE PIECE + PUBLIC BEING FILMED.
A little bit, yes, especially when other people who didn't know what was happening would walk by

10.
What is your idea of linearity or narrative in the performance? Can you describe it from beginning to end, in what you remember?
I do not rEmember performances in a linear way. I remember pictures and fragments : questions about space and meaning, the dancer coming up form the sliways, two slowly moving ducks the right down third of my vision.
It seemed more like a rotation between the dancers, two playing together at a time and sometimes only one taking the "spotlight'
My idea of the narrative in the performance is the experience that a person can feel in life, in relation to others and with the places. It was beautiful the connection with an almost non-linearity in the text.

11.
Did you listen? And what did you listen to? Whose voices or noises did you hear? Tell the story you heard (audio), the way you remember it.
BACKGROUNS NOISE/ECHO
I listened to the audio in my headphones and the speakers, the sounds of the dancers feet. The audio was for me an introduction and then a soundscape, then elements of chaos meant to disrupt or scatter attention, and finally a sort of monologue/conclusion that didn't end definitively but faded out
I couldn't manage to follow the stories it was more like vaguely hearing bits of conversation like when you are falling a sleep at a party and everything sounds more distant, I remember some words about the body about storage in the body about loving through space or space moving through you. I remember a sensation of space opening up between all these words and the places they where sent from.

12.
Which words do you remember from the performance?
SPACE, MOVEMENT
None in particular. I remember it being like the voices were asking a question or stating that they didn't now themselves or feel seen - something felt open ended, inconclusive, seeking
I don’t remember words, only feelings related to life, personal thoughts, relations, changing, reactions

13.
What was meaningful to you? And was that in the performance or is it something of your own?
It felt meaningful to be there as a witness, appreciating the dancers skill and art even as I understand very little of the decisions they were making (if they were making decisions)
The gathering of people to witness a non ordinary event wich echoed with mystery

16.
Did you have a sensation of being intimate with any aspect of the piece?
MOSTLY INTIMATE WITH A LOCATION I KNOW WELL, NICE TO FEEL THAT THE PLACE IS WELCOMING TO YOU.
The ground, the setting, the night sky - so everything around the piece but not the piece itself. When I understood french being spoken that felt intimate because I understood it - like being let in on a secret.
YES, SOMETIMES WITH THE VOICE I HEARD - LIKE AS IF IT WAS TALKING OUT OF ME; ALSO WITH ONE OF THE DANCER'S S MOVEMENTS, I SOMETIMES FELT VERY CONNECTED, IN THE SENSE OF SENSITIVITY (HAVING THE FEELING TO FEEL WHAT SHE FEELS)
