A scrap of an idea I have been considering for some time.
The most complex symbol system we have is words.
A performance in two parts:
Part 1: 3 Performers erase all of the meanings in the New Shorter Oxford English Dictionary.
Part 2: The 3 Performers strive to add meanings to all the words that have had their meanings removed. There are no set rules, the meaning can be anything, they can even be the correct meaning. After ewach new meaning has been allocated the correct meaning will be stated.
The performance is complete when every word in the dictionary has been given a new meaning.
As fatigue and exhaustion take over the performers body the ability to creatively and inventively come up with new meanings will become less reliable.
The audience are invited to drop in and out of the performance as they wish.
