SYNESTHETICS

A young man draped in a blanket of mirrors submerges into his own mind, where cardboard people hobble across a stage, and personified letters offer observations on how someone who does not understand metaphor can lead a happy and fulfilling life. Conceived and composed over a three-week rehearsal period, this piece investigates mirror-touch synesthesia, a rare condition that causes individuals to vicariously experience other people’s sensations.
