The Fence is a performance/spoken work of split nature, a mouthed try out on collapse and blend of collective and personal illusions. An ever ending text reveals barriers that fall apart and reform, deconstructing realities moment to moment.

It speaks in fragments—a torrent of confessions, contradictions, refusals, and borrowings. 

Using both ready-made and custom-made texts and informed by physical performativity, the piece stitches together porous, volatile, unresolved thoughts for troubled times. During the performance, various space, sound and voice -specific sources are activated while the performer remains overexposed to this sharing among the people in the space.
