What If?
An interactive live performance and sound sampling (in development) which questions our own inner reactions and prejudices to others’ choices, media and contemporary provocations about today’s global activity.. asking us to consider….
What IF..
I smiled at you
Blew you a kiss
Told you a bad joke?
And I laughed?
What if
I said I was getting married
to another woman
in the Congo Or Chicago Chechnya
What if..
I voted Trump
And Brexit because I’d read the papers
What if
I believe in Jesus…
and Mohammed
And I want us all to live in peace
What if
I fell …
And stank of drink
And started taking my clothes off
cos I didn’t know what I was doing
and someone came up and started snogging me..
and I didn’t know what to do
What if
I walk towards you with 2 children
one was staring .. in fear.. and the other child screaming…
Because we don’t know your language..
What if I lost my cat My shoe My knickers My credit card My Mum Myself
I was lost
I didn’t know who you were or where I was
I couldn’t remember your name
What If….
I asked you to smile at a complete stranger
And place your hand on their shoulder
And send them hope..
