A Never-Ending Story

This one never pulled me in. Lots of effort put into the objects around the room (which you are encouraged to explore) but the overall format didn't really work for me. Perhaps it would have been more compelling if there was a live performer instead of just a video of a woman talking? At the end of the 30 minutes you are asked to contribute and exchange a song (you are given pen and paper as you enter the little performance space) which did get us to engage a little bit with the idea of the piece, but it wasn't enough. In the end, I liked the idea behind this piece more than the actual execution.
