clément charmet: a whole world: we are on top and you on bottom (or the opposite)

Michel Lefebvre: 2:15 Montreal

annie abrahams: but what was the story?

suzon fuks: shitting on the kitchen bench and eating the apple!!

jamieson helen: it is the story of my friend sally rodwell\

jamieson helen:

garrett marc: yes - the story, good question

Jan de Weille: The story is your friends? really?

John Hopkins: you can do a aural monologue, you know, we'll hear/see!

bérénice belpaire: was it the last breaking solitude for the saison...???with this little death???

jamieson helen: her husband diedsuddenly of a heart attack

jamieson helen: & she became very depressed and lonely without him

suzon fuks: the story is sally who lost her prince charmant and fell in solitutde and committed suicide

James Cunningham: oh

jamieson helen: he was a poet, she was a performer

suzon fuks: sally wasa theatre maker

jamieson helen: well they were both artists in many forms

ruth ruthc: oh no!

suzon fuks: one of the magdalena mama

jamieson helen: sally made wonderful masks

James Cunningham: and the crowd who were they?

jamieson helen: the crowd were all the people around them

jamieson helen: they had friends & colleagues all over the world

suzon fuks: it was her voice

jamieson helen: gabi - sally was in cuba in 2005 at the first festival there

Les Topiques: life can be so sad

garrett marc: i enjoyed the real-tiime quality of it all

gabriella sacco: i m,et her onlyonce in holstebro at the festuge in 2005

jamieson helen: yes it is a tragedy this story - i'm sorry

James Cunningham: you can talk if you want

jamieson helen: i kind of prefer to type because then it keeps everything in the log

jamieson helen: annie - does the log get saved?

John Hopkins: yes, right...

clément charmet: yes it's saved

ruth ruthc: I like watching you type

ruth ruthc: : ))

bérénice belpaire: no no it's life

James Cunningham: all is saved

clément charmet: yes , all :)

jamieson helen: i'm my dreams i am a mute ; )

annie abrahams: :)

suzon fuks: ah a smile!

clément charmet: we record all of your webcams now

John Hopkins: hehe

jamieson helen: could you see things clearly enough on the stage?

James Cunningham: new motto : do things that can't be saved

annie abrahams: why the peacock feather?

suzon fuks: i like your phone. it is a cousin from my calling home ones!

gabriella sacco: more or less

jamieson helen: the phone is from my childhood

John Hopkins: say things unheard,

Jan de Weille: its death*

jamieson helen: so is the theatre

suzon fuks: a bit of a different shape

garrett marc: so how about the difference in performing it in real-time compared to other ways?

suzon fuks: can u bring it to Oz?

James Cunningham: unrecorded

gabriella sacco: peacock feather is a divine feature in India

gabriella sacco: God is all-attractive, like the peocock

suzon fuks: great

jamieson helen: bring the show to oz?

garrett marc: she's a giant!

jamieson helen: i don't think i could bring the theatre

clément charmet: it's an ultraportable phone

bérénice belpaire: niiiiice

James Cunningham: yes the feather looked like a big eye

Michel Lefebvre: Death is often dramatic. I know somenone in Chili whose life is always complicated. On December, her mentally fragile husband disapeared and was found in the sea on December 27. Just as dramatic as his life could end.

suzon fuks: the hearing bit is a bit flatter

bérénice belpaire: vintage?

gabriella sacco: it's beautiful

bérénice belpaire: je reconnais, c'est à montpellier

garrett marc: nice home

ruth ruthc: ooooh seeing behind the wizzard of Oz's curtain

clément charmet: it's cool to have such a small scene, with an audience all over the world

suzon fuks: yes....sinking...had a friend who saved another friend from the sea and in return was taken away by it

ruth ruthc: those guy's were my favourite

James Cunningham: that stage is amazing where'd you get it?

ruth ruthc: you can't beat a good mob

suzon fuks: drowing

suzon fuks: drowning

garrett marc: a pleasent deconstruct :-)

suzon fuks: beautiful miniature world

jamieson helen: my dad bought the stage in the 1970s, on one of his trips to europe

jamieson helen: it's a victorian "pollock's theatre"

annie abrahams: What was the voice telling on the phone in the beginning?

James Cunningham: fab

jamieson helen: pollock was a toy maker, of beautiful victorian toys & minatures

jamieson helen: the voice on the phone at the beginning

élisabeth klimoff: pas d'art sans vérité

clément charmet: and then he started to drop paint

jamieson helen: is a series of messages left on peter's answerphone

jamieson helen: by a desperate and anonymous woman

jamieson helen: peter - do you want to say anything about it?

bérénice belpaire: pas d'art sans mensonge

Peter Winter: Well I have no idea who that woman was

jamieson helen: (another desperate and lonely person ... )

Peter Winter: Strange

bérénice belpaire: enfin je voulais dire pas de vérité sans mensonge

annie abrahams: I don't think there are any lies in here

James Cunningham: she was ananymous of course

jamieson helen: i thought it very poignant that she was leaving such a desperate cry for help on a stranger's phone

garrett marc: do have to be lonely to be desperate?

suzon fuks: an ex?maybe?

Peter Winter: well, yes and she left the messages on the 15 th of october

James Cunningham: no no lying

jamieson helen: no, you can be one or the other

clément charmet: hehe a forgotten ex

garrett marc: lol

bérénice belpaire: no juste déus ex machina

Peter Winter: one year after Sally left us

James Cunningham: precise date

jamieson helen: yes, the 15th october is the aniversary of sallly's death

suzon fuks: a dumped woman...!?

Jan de Weille: Whats a pollocks theatre please? wikipedia remains silent

jamieson helen: the voicesaying "the story is mine" is sally

clément charmet: oh so you think she may have known her

jamieson helen: pollock was a victorian toy maker

jamieson helen: he sold replicas, minatures, & toys

jamieson helen: one of his specialities was model theatres

Peter Winter: I don't think so

garrett marc: need to look some of this somewhere...

Jan de Weille: thank you

gabriella sacco: was she saying this sentence or did you put different words together

clément charmet: just random...

jamieson helen: with books that have all the sets & characters for the shows

garrett marc: i do...

gabriella sacco: it's a beautiful sound

suzon fuks: wow so we recycle the old to the cyberpace!

jamieson helen: yes : )

garrett marc: was the sound separate to the visuals?

clément charmet: hehe we recycle everyting

James Cunningham: well done Helen's dad for scooping that one up

jamieson helen: that is another theatre, just a cardboard one

jamieson helen: theone i used for the performance is wood

clément charmet: can you scan the front, so that I can put it around the webcam picture in the next "salon"

jamieson helen: sure

jamieson helen: probably easier to photograph it

bérénice belpaire: oh yess nice idea

clément charmet: I'm looking for a more "baroque" style for panoplie

jamieson helen: the cardboard one is less faded

suzon fuks: yes i like the jump in time to still say the (same ?) stories

bérénice belpaire: et j'ai les cartes du tarot marseillais si tu veux des personnages

clément charmet: ouais

jamieson helen: but the wooden one has the orchestra pit
