Borrowed Splendour, 2007
Performance / Duration: 20 minutes.
Two men and one woman, different for each show, enact a pre-scripted situation. They have no previous idea of they are supposed to do – they discover their task at the same time as the audience. Two instructors guide them with detailed directions via microphones:

Within the script, the possible relations between the three characters are continuously shifting. The participants gradually transform from executors of a task, to actors playing a role, who interpret, manipulate and at times diverge from the script.
