Further Information Highly physical, non-verbal and with live real-time sounds composition, every night will be a unique, unrepeatable improvisation. The performance, directed by Penny Baron and with live sound by Michael Havir, is infused with the company'™s trademark layered realities and logic as the performers rove through the crowded '˜waiting room'™ and interact with the audience.
