The Most Performative Piece Ever!
The performance lineup functioned much like a formal poem functions. For each piece (line) the next work following either comments or is connected to the previous by action or concept creating unique juxtapositions. I consider the play in this work existing as rhyme scheme or word relationship would in poetry. Through this constructive process pieces were carefully selected and organized to gain new and deeper meaning through their positioning during the performance.
