Cyberpunk and historical romance featured in this video/performance project which was initially made for four performer/technicians and later re-scored for two.

On-stage technology included an old tape recorder, super 8 film and telephones. A fourtrack soundscore was used to create a sound environment which preceded and succeeded the performed action during the piece's three week run at Edinburgh Festival.

The theme of the piece was memory and loosing it. The main task of the piece, which occupied the performers in different ways during the show's life, was how to record your body's actions and thinking so completely that real presence becomes a silly luxury.

Surrounded by technology that tracked their every move the show ended with a series of disappearing acts by the live perfomer/technicians. Once they were gone for good their mediated traces carried on the piece in peace.
