Listening to their own vast and limited archives, three men perform themselves. Imagine recording your life on 100 tapes. Record. Rewind. Play. Listen. Stop. Joe Cobden, Frank Cox-O’Connell and Brendan Gall contributed 100 tapes each for this archive of fact and fiction that explores how memories and identity are shaped (and warped) by time, desire and the eyes (and ears) of others.
With a choreography of everyday twitches the three performers reveal everything, this bold experiment in storytelling thoughtfully and playfully provokes and questions identity, memory, perception and authenticity.
