Before Your Door
Is All The Way Open Whitechapel Gallery, London From the back of the room, Whisperer 1 whispers an
instruction in the ear of a member of the audience,
with the directive, "pass it on." Meanwhile, Whisperer 2 introduces another instruction from the other side of the room. Eventually, each
instruction reaches the organist on stage. The
instructions mutate as they move through the audience.
An audience member may simply mis-hear an instruction
and pass it on incorrectly, or perhaps it has been
deliberately modified, or even invented on the spot.
Certain instructions are deliberately difficult to
repeat. Organist: John Lely Whisperers: Drew Morgan & Seth Kim-Cohen |
