CAFÉ BON BON

...consist of

- Four binaurally enhanced audio narratives
(45 min each)

- A site-specific stage performance in an actual Nightclub
(1 hour)

- A short film incorporating the four characters from the audio portion as well as the nightclub performers. The film depicts the end of this evening and follows the story of how all the characters interact. Incidents from the performance come back as the audience realizes that the film. The film acts to complete the telling of the narratives.

works like this…

- Earlier in the day, participants go and pick up a CD, instructions and a small bag of props. They go home and at 8pm that night - along with 49 other people throughout the city doing the same thing at the same time in their own homes - they put the CD in a portable player, stand in front of their open refrigerator and press Track number one.

-From there, following the narrative impulses of the character they “become,” they are led by a voice on the CD player through a number of scenes in their own home, then out into the streets and eventually to the Night club.
