Witness
Witness is a 20-minute performance for one audience member at a time that configures the viewer as accomplice to an event, “manifesting” accountable witnesses out of impartial observers. Together we are challenged to acknowledge our participation in acts of violence, and to confront our responsibility for the other. Then, we are charged to act.
