Performed by a team of six with live sound in an undisclosed office location, They Told You This is an embodied study of mundane objects and spaces that nearly insist we ignore them.

A woman feels a vital essence within an abandoned office building–beyond the wall to wall carpeting, fake plants, and corporate jargon.

This project is a response to a global breakdown of connection and buildup of STUFF, and a dark ode to the trappings of corporate culture. The piece expands the idea of puppetry, offering “manipulation” as a form of unexpected interrelation with things we rarely consider.
