Following this experimental process of co-creation, the resulting performance(s) do not belong to anyone. They exist in a space of collaboration and not-knowing, unfolding through chance, improvisation, shared in/capacities and desire.


Continuing Zavitsanos’ research into what constitutes matter and different thresholds of perception, the performance(s) are inhabited by sound, infrasound and infrared light. As per the artists’ answers, all have air and water, some have fire and only one has earth. Repeated twice on the same day, the performance(s) interpret the score at different tempos, speed and signatures.
The collaborative three-performance programme coalescing Zavitsanos’ two-year research around entropy, polyvocality and indeterminacy. Happening on-site and online, the programme is catalysed by Zavitsanos and conjured with the performers Angelo Custódio and Pedro Matias, S*an D. Henry-Smith, and Geo Wyex. Each performance responds to the same score initiated by Zavitsanos and developed together with the performers through a twist on the popular deductive reasoning game Twenty Questions. With Zavitsanos in the role of the guesser, the artists have been asked to think of ‘absolutely nothing’ before answering a set of twenty yes/no questions on the performance they were going to stage. Though based on absolutely nothing, the improvisational nature of their answers has determined the score for each performance, unsettling rigid understandings of production and reproduction, autonomy and dependency, and interpretation and creation.
