This postshow Q&A was recorded on the 12th November 2015. Piece For Person and Ghetto Blaster is the story of a man, a woman and a duck. It is about the excruciating realms of human behaviour. It is an attempt to navigate the complexities of an ordinary person struggling to become a better human. Preoccupied by how social conventions obstruct the possibility of personal liberation, Piece for Person and Ghetto Blaster is a duet between physical action and spoken language, setting up a space for dialogue. Offering little comfortable optimism for the future unless we confront our own responsibility to make it better, it calls into question our very capacity to continue to make moral judgments and relate to others in an ethical way. So what if, in the auditorium, all together, we created conflict? And what if we created conflict just so we could practice transformation? This new work from riveting, subversive creator/performer Nicola Gunn tries to understand how we can all get along. Creator & Performer: Nico
