Hearsay, by Narrm-based artists Eek, Kirby Casilli, and Tina Stefanou, is an extended filmic performance that transforms the cinema into a zoological amphitheatre. Blending moving image, contemporary performance, hypnotism, and sound, Hearsay meditates on the erosion of trust — and the ways in which perception, through body, memory, state, means, and the other, undergo reconstruction and distortion.
