Title: The State

Description
Together with a female co-performer we talk to everyone in the bar with the intention of gaining a personal item of clothing or jewellery from each person which we share between us to wear.

Before taking the object we get a portrait photograph of the person wearing their chosen item.

With the co-operation of the person giving us the item, we mutually decide how best to wear it.

Once dressed up, we position ourselves in prominent positions in the bar to sing together a song we have created based on sea shanties and flamenco song.

The performance ends with items being returned to each owner.
