Description
Story-telling, observations, philosophical references, animated projections, sound composition and movement collide. It’s an exploration of the relationality between Lois and things — like her microphone, the foil she saved from a Christmas poinsettia, a plastic bag, and an old dictionary inherited from her father. Lois describes what’s important about boredom, how she thinks she knows things, and later, how her father died of dementia — how he lost his ability to remember.
