“In days gone by, people used to think that the stars were armies of angels. Now they’ve come down to the ground. Tomorrow, the world will have only one city and it will be like living in the centre of some huge bright eye. An invisible city that has its centre everywhere.”
Michel Serres

“I am interested in the collision between here/now and elsewhere – the actuality and energy of the theatre and audience tonight interfaces with news videos from last night movies from 1994 and visions of the future – like yours my body is a living database of images which do not stop transforming and growing once they get inside of me – I say yes to collective fantasies and private impulses and work to reassemble these inside the tension of the live performance – fictions proliferate through a process of information management – like you I believe and I make-believe – no man believes what he does not feel to be true – I should like to unbelieve myself – I sleep at night and wake in the morning hoping to be gone –”
Noha Ramadan Bill Viola Jeanette Winterson
