A six-hour immersive experience exploring listening, self-disclosure, and the act of being present with a stranger. Inspired by psychologist Arthur Aron's research on interpersonal closeness, the piece frames self-disclosure as performance, inviting audiences into one-on-one encounters that unfold across time and space.

​

Each interaction involves a shared exchange of questions, gestures, materials, and memory — over food, in darkness, across glass, beneath water. The boundary between performer and audience blurs through these accumulations, creating space for honest conversation and quiet transformation.

​

Performed in found sites including bungalows, disused buildings, private homes, and the streets connecting them.
