In this episode, participants return to a familiar sonic space, but why we are here and who we are with is undergoing a crisis of faith. Nothing is as it seems, and we may never come back.

Last Audience is a project of a canary torsi, a group of artists who create performance experiences together. It is inspired from a book of performance scores, Last Audience: a performance manual, made with the Museum of Contemporary Art/Chicago. This podcast was made possible by a generous MacDowell Fellowship.

Tips for optimum listening experience: 

• It is a fiction. And like a novel… you may want to start with episode 01 before jumping into episode 02. The episodes build on one another. 


• It is a performance. So like any performance, it invites your attention. Put on headphones and be in this sonic world with us. Take pleasure in listening. Turn off those notifications. 


• It is participatory! You are invited to act. Be open to how the podcast moves you.
