receive give receive - Onerva Helne
Participatory live performance

The participatory and interactive piece posed two questions: ”What is the state of our house?” and ”What should we do?” The piece encouraged audience members to reflect and share their thoughts with each other.

At the start of the piece, a performer emerged from a built-in bench in the theatre lobby, and posed the audience the first question, which was followed by the second question at the intermission. Over the course of the performance, the audience had the opportunity to think about these questions, write their responses on sticky notes, and attach them on the bench seat in the lobby. Together the audience responses created an installation of reflections.
