this performance is durational, this performance is immersive, this performance is an ode to impermanence, this performance is a simmering soup, this performance is a dance, this performance is a concert, this performance is an art installation, this performance is repetitive, this performance is experienced over time, this performance is a house, this performance is a body, the performance is repetitive, this performance is a haunted house.

this performance asks you to move, but this performance will offer you a chair. this performance will not wait for you but will save you a plate. this performance happens upstairs and downstairs but your experience does not need to involve stairs to be the experience. this performance is for grown-ups but this performance welcomes kids. 

This performance lasts 6 hours. Entry is available every 30 minutes. Come and go as you like. Stay for the whole time or just breeze through. Go have lunch and come back. Watch through the window. Take a nap in the yard. Shift your perspective. There is no right way to experience it and there is no way to experience it all.
