Okay. Hi!

Hi.

Welcome. Welcome to this special one night only event. Just before we start, I feel I must tell you all that due some lies that I told on New Zealand National radio recently, and some old press releases that have been floating around, and are still floating around that I’m just really aware that there may be some of you here that are expecting quite a different sort of a thing to unfold, a different event– you might be expecting me to rant very angrily at you – for about an hour – about what it feels like to live inside a brown and marginalised body, and perhaps – 

Perhaps


that will happen. Perhaps we will get there – but just before that can happen, before we start to sort of break down the differences between me and you,

[blood splatter in background]

I just really think it’s quite important that we all kind of start together on the same page with each other – that we try to find, like a… like an equal sort of a footing. Yeah? So... I have a way that I propose that we can go about this. It’s a technique that I’ve been working on for some time now. So what - what I’m – what we’re going to do – is we’re going to use this tape and this pen to label, map, and define – identify everything that is in this room. So, kind of 

like an astronomer


for the universe – but just for this room. Yeah? A really good way to start, I’ve found, is just to start with who’s here.

So, we’ll start


with me.









Here’s


Which would make you….


[Writes YOU on label for audience member]

[To another audience member]

And would make you… you?

[Audience member]
 


A girl? Okay! Good. Okay. We’re getting very detailed here. And now, just before I move on – I do realise that that was quite a full on little bit of interaction that you and I just did there and thank you so much for your generosity – but I’m just really aware that there are some people here who might not like that level of interaction. So if there is anyone here who does not like audience participation, please do tell me. Please, if there’s anyone here who is just not into it, doesn’t want to interact – no one? We’re all okay. We’re all okay?

Fantastic.



Okay, well just on that note, I should probably just also ask, is there anyone here who is reviewing this show? Or is a reviewer? Or has been a reviewer in the past? Yes? Thank you very much for doing that. Okay, I’m just gonna give you this little label here, and please know, this is more for me than it is for you, for all of us. It just says


Because, from now on sir, this is it. You have a very

powerful

and important

job

to do. And that is to sit there and think, concentrate very very hard on what this all means. And whether it is any

good.

Or

bad.


Got it? Good. 


See, so it’s – I mean it’s complex, it’s a little bit hard when you try to

flatten the hierarchies


in the room, figure out who knows more than who about what’s going on here but I think we can get there. I’m aware that we’re

running out of time,


but I think that we can all get there together because there are some givens, there are some things that we already know. Like, for example, you’re here.

You’re here. And I’m here, and we’re in a room together.

And we know we’re in a room because a room is a space defined by walls. We’re in a room and there’s four walls. There’s one behind you, and there’s one behind me, there’s one  over there, and there’s one opposite to her. But what some of you might not know, and some of you probably do know is that

there is another wall in the room.



And it’s right about here. Just in between you and me. In fact [gives tape to audience member] would you mind if I give you that end of the tape if you go down to that end, we’ll just map it out just so that we all know – that’s good that’s good – yep – you go down and I’ll go down – just along this line here – yeah perfect, okay, great, there we go, just give it a little, yep [smooths down tape with feet]... uh good!


So, good. Now this is what many experts, and teachers, directors, lecturers, tutors, reviewers have told me in the theatre, is what they call,

the fourth wall.


But as we’ve already established, there are in fact four walls in the room already, so this, I’m going to say, is the fifth wall. So I’ll just write that here just to be clear for everyone [writes on tape]



And, I just think it’s really important that we know that it's here, that it does have a presence. It makes things clearer, like you really are over there on that side of the wall, and I’m over here.


[Steps over the line]



I mean I could. I just did – I did – I did that. How do you feel about the fact that I just crossed the line like that? Good? Got a thumbs up here, good over there. Worried? Okay. We’ve got a worried over there. That’s fine, that’s fine, that’s good, it’s just information in the room that we need to excavate.


[Steps back]



And over here, how are you feeling now? Good? Worried’s turned to good – okay, so good – now we just know that if I’m over here [in front of line] little bit worried up there – if I’m over here [steps back] – much better for the worried corner.


Okay, it’s not to say that you wouldn’t be welcome to cross the line over here, but if you did, I just need to make you very acutely aware of some very specific health and safety hazards. For example, this pool of blood. Which you would be absolutely forgiven for thinking is a representation of my menstrual cycle. Or my womb. Or my mother’s womb. Or my grandmother’s womb. Or my great grandmother's womb. Or the blood of my ancestors. Or the blood of your ancestors. Or the blood of the land… this is representational of colonisation, and decolonisation, that this represents how it feels to me to be an Indian–

Seven minutes.    Seven minutes.   Seven minutes.    Seven minutes.   Seven minutes.   Seven minutes.   Seven minutes.   



Okay. Hi!

Hi.

Welcome. Welcome to this special one night only event. Seven minutes. Now before we continue, I feel that I must let you all know that due to some lies floating around, that I’m just really aware that there are some of you here who might be expecting something quite different to unfold. There are some of you who are expecting me to rant quite angrily at you for sixty minutes about what it might be like to be an Indian immigrant in New Zealand who’s lived here for over twenty years. And perhaps –

Perhaps


we’ll get to that. Perhaps that will happen. But before we get to that, before we start talking about the differences between you and me, I just think it’s really important that we all get on the same page together. That we try to find an equal footing and the way I propose that we do this, and it’s by using this tape. And this pen..

there’s a pen somewhere here… by the blood… not here… the other side of the blood… I’m not seeing it… The bottled blood. Over here, by the ladder. Here, where is it? Oh I got it! Okay.

This tape, and this pen.


Thank God I found it, because we are really running out of time here.


We’re just going to use this tape and this pen to map – name – label – identify everything in the room. So kind of like an

astronomer


but just for this room, yeah? So, one way to start would be with who’s here, right?  So Amanda’s there, she is the



of the show, which would make me the


[said as writing]


which would make you all



great, I’ll just write that over here… audience.. . put a little arrow that way, and that way, over there also, some over there…. Good, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.


And just before we go on, is there anybody here who does not like to be touched. Great, okay, I’m just going to give you this little label – more for me than you – it just says –



Don’t. And uh, while we’re on that note, is there anybody here who has any

power

over my artistic career. Anyone. Anyone. No one, say, who is a curator from an international cultural precinct… I don’t know… in Hong Kong?

[International curator Kee Hong Low raises hand]


Okay, I’m just gonna give you this little label here, and please know, this is more for me than it is for you, for all of us. It just says


Because, from now on sir, this is it. You have a very

powerful

and important

job

to do. And that is to sit there and think, concentrate very very hard on what this all means. And whether or not you will

commission


my

work


in the

future


Got it? Good.
 


Great, so it can be hard, you know, when we try to name the power that’s in the room – some people don’t really want to admit to it straight away, you need to sort of coax it out of them. But, I know it’s

complex


and I think that we can get there, we can get there, because there are some givens. Like we know, we know we’re in a room together. And we know we’re in a room because a room is a space defined by walls. We’re in a room and there’s four walls. There’s one behind you, and there’s one behind me, there’s one  over there, and there’s one opposite to her. But what some of you might not know, and some of you probably do know is that

there is another wall in the room.



And it’s right about here. Just in between you and me. Now this is what many experts have told me in the theatre, is what they call,

the fourth wall.


But as we’ve already established, there are in fact four walls in the room already, so this, I’m going to say, is the fifth wall. So I’ll just write that here just to be clear for everyone [writes on tape]



and I like that, because it kind of makes me feel like you’re in a different dimension over there, you know? You're in a sort of

a fifth dimension

over there, and I’m in a kind of a – I don’t know a – a sixth – maybe a first dimension over here!




But it just makes me aware of where you are in space, where I am in space – it’s not to say that I couldn't cross over into your dimension - I could just bowl in here, that’s fine.


[Crosses line into audience block]



How are we feeling?

  • Nods.
  • Blank.
  • Squints.
  • Nods.
  • Big squint here.
  • Not so sure over there.
  • Eyebrow raised.

Okay, so it’s feeling quite complex in your dimension I’d say.


[Crosses back]



But with a little bit of distance...
how’s the squinting feeling now?


better? no? a little bit? 

So over there, quite complex, and over here, a little bit better.


Great, and it’s not to say that you wouldn’t be totally welcome to cross the line over here – you’d just have to be very, very aware of this

ever-expanding pool of blood.


Which you’d be absolutely forgiven for thinking is a representation of what happens to my brain when I hear the name Ayn Rand. Or represents the rampant failure of capitalism. Or my absolute failure to be able to pay my rent week to week without every so often asking my father to bail me out as a 35 year old. You’d be absolutely forgiven for thinking this is a representation of the moon. Or witchcraft. Or mysticism. Or the occult. Or Aleister Crowley’s face at the end of a giant orgy. But what you must know, is that actually, this is a

FAKE

pool of blood. This is icing sugar, and water, and food colouring, it's ingredients, it’s a bunch of ingredients. It’s groceries. It’s shopping. It’s shopping from a supermarket in Grey Lynn. It’s–

Six minutes.    Six minutes.    Six minutes.    Six minutes.    Six minutes.    Six minutes.






Okay. Hi!

Hi.

Welcome. Welcome to this special one night only event. Now, before I continue I feel I must let you all know that I told some

lies

on the radio. And in some press releases. And for that reason I’m really aware that there are some of you here that might be

expecting something different


to unfold. You might be expecting me to rant very angrily about

        structural racism

                                    and

                    oppression.

And perhaps –

Perhaps


we’ll get to that. Perhaps that will happen. but before we do I just think it’s really important that we all

get on the same page together.


That we try to find a sort of, an equal footing with one another. And uh, I have a way that I propose to do this. It’s by using this tape and this pen to map, label and identify everything that’s happening right now. In this room. So kind of like an

astronomer

but just for this room.

So, why don’t we just start with who’s here. So, we could start with me. I am Nisha.



Which would make you –


[Audience member]




Lizzie. That’s a nice simple European name that I knew how to spell straight away. Here. So, you see it can be tricky when you come to all the little details because some people you need to ask how to spell their name and some people you just know straight away how to spell it.



Just before I go on, is there anyone here who has any money? Like maybe just a dollar, two dollars. You’ve got two dollars? Great. Anyone here who earns a weekly wage? Yeah? Anyone here who has some savings? A significant amount of savings. Okay, I’m just gonna give you this little label here, and please know, this is more for me than it is for you, for all of us. It just says


Because, from now on, this is it. You have a very

powerful

and important

job

to do. And that is to sit there and think, concentrate very very hard on what this all means. And whether or not you willafter the show you will become my

personal arts patron


Got it? Good.
  

So it can be hard when we figure out who earns a weekly wage, has some savings… who doesn’t…. I think it’s

complex


but I think we’ll get there, I think that we can get there because there are some givens, like we all know that we are in this room and we are in this room together. We know we’re here because there are four walls in this room. There’s one behind you, made of brick. One behind me, made of brick. There’s one behind Amanda, not made of brick. Has the door on it as well. There’s one over there, not made of brick. Has some stairs, goes up to the dressing room. Very windy, very narrow.

We know this

 
We know that these walls exist. But what some of you might not know, and some of you probably do know is that

there is another wall in the room.



And it’s right about here. Just in between you and me. Now this is what many experts have told me in the theatre, is what they call,

the fourth wall.


But as we’ve already established, there are in fact four walls in the room already, so this, I’m going to say, is the fifth wall. So I’ll just write that here just to be clear for everyone [writes on tape]



It’s very hard to see, but if you try, you can sense it. And it’s important that you know that this wall is here because it’s what defines you in space from me right now.


And that’s not to say that I couldn’t cross the line and just sort of… come over into your space. But to be quite honest, for me this feels very

vulnerable.


Because there are a lot more of you than me right now. And I’m pretty sure that if we got into a

fight

that you would all win. But I also think that if we wanted to start a

riot

this would be a great number of people to start. Or maybe just an online movement.

So it’s good to know that over here there’s a kind of collective power that’s happening here with you and over there on the stage it feels a little more individual. And it’s not to say that you all couldn’t just come rioting over to this side of the room, but if you did, you’d have to be very, very aware of this

ever-expanding pool of blood.

which you’d be absolutely forgiven for thinking is a representation of my desperate need to kill a king. Or just my way of finally playing the “out, damn spot” scene. You’d be absolutely forgiven for thinking that this is a representation of ancient civilisations and storytelling. That this is Plato’s Cave. Or Socrates or some other guy who said things once. You would be absolutely forgiven for thinking that this is a representation of second wave feminism or Simone de Beauvoir’s womb. But what you should know is that this is a pool of

FAKE

blood. This is three KGs of icing sugar. It’s four bottles of red food colouring, a smattering of cocoa powder and just a tiny bit of blue food colouring just to give it that real dark edge, y’know? This is just – it’s a prop, it’s a sham, it’s a trick, it’s a tool. If this is a tool, it’s a nail, and it just would need the hammer like an actor dying in front of you over and over again just to really hammer the point home, y’know? It’s a mechanism. It’s a function, it’s just sort of functioning there, spreading about –

Five minutes.  Five minutes.    Five minutes.    Five minutes.    Five minutes. 


Five minutes.    Five minutes.    Five minutes.    Five minutes.    Five minutes.

Okay. Hi!

Hi.

Welcome. Welcome to this special one night only event. Now, before we go on, I feel I must tell you,

I told lies.

And, because of that, I’m aware that there are some of you here who think that something different might happen. There are some of you here who might be expecting me to talk about how it feels to be

different

but before I can do that, I just think it’s really important that we get on the

same page


together. That we find an

equal footing


with one another. And the way that I propose to do that is that we all become

astronomers


But just in this room. So we

name and map and define


what’s happening – we could start with who’s here, like me. I am a


Are there any other people of colour here tonight?


[Looks around]

It’s nice to see you.


So, it can be tricky can’t it, when we try to figure out the little categories and who’s here and how many are here and how many aren’t here,

but I think we can do it, I think we can do it,


because we know some things already. We know that we’re in a room together, that there are four walls in this room. There’s one over there, there’s one over there, there’s one over there and there’s one right over there. But

there is another wall in the room.


It exists

between you and me.


It’s very hard to see, I understand. But it is there. It’s what some people call the fourth wall, which really has me

baffled,


because as we’ve already established there are already four walls, so I think it is






It’s really important that I know that this is here, it’s important that you know it’s here, because it’s what defines you in space from me right now. It’s what makes me know that you’re over there, and that I’m over here. Some people are feeling a little bit baffled, a little bit worried, a little bit confused, a little bit

I-don’t-know-about-this.




It’s alright if you are, because I’m aware that I know some things that you might not know, so I wrote this essay for you all. I possibly should have given it out to you at the start, but I didn’t and

I’m sorry




[passes out essay]



Maybe you could just pass it–make sure that the important people who have power get one – here you go – maybe that will clear things up a little bit y’know? It’s important that I know that you’re there with a certain amount of information and that I’m here with a certain amount of information, and it’s not to say that I couldn’t


cross the line


into your space, and not to say that you couldn't come over here but if you did, you would just have to be

very,

very,

very

acutely aware of this

ever-expanding pool of blood.


which you would be absolutely forgiven for thinking is a representation of the origin of the universe. Or the life force. That it’s a representation of what we are born in and what we will die in. That it is a representation of motherhood. Of, of deep, unconditional love for a child. That it is a representation of family trees, of ancestry 

but what you need to know is that this is actually a


FAKE 


pool of blood. This is thousands upon millions of granules of powder with thousands upon millions of molecules of liquid. This is science. This is a science experiment. This is a cool science experiment. Which is the name of the YouTube video where I found the recipe. This is the result of what happens when asteroids slam into each other and create a planet which gets pummelled by comets and then volcanoes arrive and they erupt and melt ice into oceans and the whole thing gets pulled into a gravitational orbit around the sun and then I’m born and you’re born and you’re born then we’re all in this room with four walls, five walls, looking at this big pool of blood. This is just mechanics, it’s motion, it’s physics, it’s gravity working, it’s chemicals just banging about. It’s a, it’s a reaction. It’s an image.  This is light and dark–it’s what happens when time and space get together.

Welcome. Welcome to this special one night only event. Now, before we go on, I feel I must tell you that

happened. And because of that, I know that there are some of you that might be

something

that we figure out how to all

For this room.

To

name what’s happening
here and now.


Like, for example, we could start with who’s here right now. Like me, for example. I am a



which might make you…

[Audience murmurs]


 



Great! Good. Before we go on, I was just wondering, is there anyone here who feels just a little bit more people than the other people? Like the peoplest person… in the room? Anyone? No, okay.

Well that’s a good sign,

I think we’re really getting somewhere

even though we know we’re

running out of time.


It’s complex, I know but I think we can get there because we know that there are some givens that I’m over here, and that you’re over there– there are four walls that are surrounding this room, but

there is another wall in the room.


and is hard to define; it’s

hard to see

but it

exists

between you and me.


It’s really important that we know that this wall exists between you and me, that we really try to look for it, try to see it, because

it’s what defines
you in space from me


right now. And it’s not to say that I couldn’t just sort of

cross the line


and walk all the way right up into your space, right here



[crosses into Audience block]

how are we feeling? Okay? Nods? You’re okay? You’re okay.

[To audience member] How are you feeling?

[Audience member] Less…. Not okay.

[To audience member] You’re less…. Not okay? Is it because of your white skirt?

[Audience member] Yeah.

Okay.


[Hastily leaves audience]

Good! Now we know, it’s

out in the open


it’s there, it’s been defined – I’ll stay away from the white skirt from now on. That’s not to say that you wouldn't be totally welcome to come over here onto this side of the room but if you did you would

absolutely

have to be aware of this

ever-expanding pool of blood,


which you would be completely forgiven for thinking is a representation of murder. Or death. Or DNA. Or a crime scene. Or how we love to put women in situations of violence in the cinema. Or in the theatre. Or in literature. Or in life.

You would be absolutely forgiven for thinking that is a representation of sexuality. Of sexuality, of my deep, dark carnal desire to be fingered up the arse... very gently on a nightly basis. You would be absolutely forgiven for thinking that is a representation of that time when I told my best friend that I loved him at a party and then he said ‘I don’t love you’ and I said ‘well now I’m crying, please don’t turn your back on me’ and then he just did. But what you should know is that this is a pool of

FAKE

blood. This is a very unhealthy breakfast. This is a road to developing diabetes. It’s edible. I’ve seen her eat it multiple times [to Amanda]. It’s very sticky. It’s a problem. It’s a dangerous hazard. If I slip on this concrete and actually crack my brain open and my real blood mingles with this blood then someone in this room is going to jail. It’s probably her [gestures to Gabrielle Vincent], because she is the programming director of this venue. This is a very good way to fuck up my friend’s life. This is a problem; it’s trouble. It’s a grave concern, it’s a waste, it’s also a big–

Okay. Hi!

Hi.

Welcome. Welcome to this special one night only event. Now, before we go on, I feel I must tell you that

lies

happened, and I’m sure that there are people here who

expect that something different can happen.


But before something different can happen, we need to find out how we can

get on the same page together.

That we can

find an equal footing with one another.

And the way that I propose we do that, is that we all become

astronomers for our lives.



And one way of doing it would be to start with defining what’s in the room, who’s here, like me, for example. I am




Which might make you…




And, and, we know that we’re in a room, and that the room has four walls, but

there is another wall in the room.

 – it exists between you and me.

It’s important to know that because now we know that I am over here and I am standing and I am

very wet and sticky
– it’s a problem for the hairs on my arms


…. And…. that you’re over there and you’re

sitting quite comfortably, and… you’re dry…




I was just wondering if there was anybody in this room who felt that they were drier than the other people in the room right now. Someone who’s the driest person in the room. No? All a quite safe, comfortable level of dry…. That’s good. That’s not to say that I couldn’t

cross the line


over to your dry side of the room– it might make the whole dry-wet situation a little bit clearer– as I’m pretty sure

I am the wettest person in this room right now

on many levels.


And then over here [on stage], well, I am probably the driest person here right now–

oh no that’s wrong, there’s Amanda.


[To Amanda] Am I the wettest person here right now?

[Amanda] Yes.


Yes. Okay,

good.


That’s not to say that you wouldn't be totally welcome to come over to this side, this wet side of the room. But if you did, you’d have to be

very,

very,

very

careful of this

ever-expanding pool of blood.


which you would be completely forgiven for thinking is a representation of my heart. Or the heart of the deer that the hunter killed and took back to the Queen as proof that he really did kill Snow White. That you would be completely forgiven for thinking that this is the stuff that myths and legends are made of. That this was a muse for Shakespeare. You would be completely forgiven for thinking that this is a representation of guilt, of envy and wrath but what you should know is that this is a pool of

FAKE

blood. This is a– this is just molecules, swimming around together, finding motion, trying to find a way out the fire exit so that it can go down the gutter and end up in the stream and finally in the ocean and possibly kill some fish. Or give them diabetes. That this is just me pulling the wool over your eyes. This is just a performance. This is theatre happening, right now. This is theatre, this is it. It’s a function, it’s just kind of functioning down there. It’s physics, it’s reasonable metaphysics. It’s a way of me getting out of actually bleeding for you. Which I thought about… decided against. This is a lazy outcome. This is a very poor attempt at something real. This is make-believe–

Hi.

Welcome. Welcome to this special one night only event. Now, before we go on, I feel I must tell you that

lies

happened, and I’m sure that there are people here who

expect that something different can happen.


But before something different can happen, we need  

something the same to happen.


 And maybe we’ll get there. and perhaps –

Perhaps

we’ll get to that. One way of doing it would be to

become astronomers

To kind

define
what’s happening
between you and me
right now
in this room.



Like for example, we could start with me.

I am….



Which might make you



And that’s good to know.

And we know that

we’re in a room together 



it’s defined by four walls – there’s one there, one there, one there, one there. But

there is another wall in the room.


– it exists between you and me.

it’s a

barrier


it’s hard to see–
but if we just look for it
we can see it.
It’s right

here

it’s what some people call the fourth wall.


But there are already four walls in the room


so I just do not understand why it’s not called


It’s important that we know that this wall is here, it’s what defines

you


in

space


from

me


That’s not to say that I couldn’t

cross the line

and come over to your side of the wall.



[Crosses over]


How are you feeling? 

[Audience member]

I shouldn’t have worn a white t-shirt.

You shouldn’t have worn a white t-shirt. Thank you for telling me. Thank you for giving me your feedback. I will take that into the next season of this show and perhaps put a trigger warning out there.


[Crosses back]

How are you feeling about your white t-shirt now?

[Audience member] Much better.



Good, okay. I’m really glad we got that

out in the open.

That’s not to say that you wouldn’t be absolutely welcome to come over here, you’d just have to be

very,

very,

very

careful of this

ever-expanding pool of blood.

 which you would be absolutely forgiven for thinking is a representation of my white hot rage and anger-


[interrupted by Space Odyssey 2001 music, dies dramatically on stage to the music]

One minute.
One minute.



Okay
Hi 
welcome
to the show 
it’s one night only

lies happened

and before it can be different
it needs to be the same

and we could be astronomers

we could find out who’s here
like there’s me

I’m over here
and there’s you
you’re over there

we are all
in a space together

and we are running out of time

and you have to be aware of this expanding
pool of blood

which is a represen-tation
of my  
dreams  
or my  
nightmares  
or the cosmos
or my subcon-scious 

or birth
or rebirth 
or past lives 

but what you must know

is that
this is not real –
