Rotozaza’s Etiquette is a half-hour experience for two people in a public space. There is no-one watching - other people in the café or bar are not aware of it. You wear headphones which tell you what to say to each other, or to use one of the objects positioned to the side. There is a kind of magic involved - for it to work you just need to listen and respond accordingly. Best done with someone you know, someone to share this with.

Etiquette exposes human communication at both its rawest and most delicate and explores the difficulty of turning our thoughts into words we can trust. A young girl and a philosopher lead the participants into several micro-situations, many of them borrowed from film and theatre, where the ‘bubble’ shared between two people splits and reforms incessantly.

“gripping... If the line between audience and performer seems blurred, Rotozaza’s Etiquette erases it entirely.”
