Whispering Saucers derives from a sonic transfer experiment on parabolic antennas—in which, by standing at a certain point, the antennas can transfer whispers through their curves and send them further distances. The performers are asked to wander around and make various sounds, but when they face each other, they must mimic one another. Who will mimic who—this enigmatic communication becomes somewhat of a power game. The play of Whispering Saucers suggests that loud and clear communication is not essential to understand each other. What matters is where you'd stand to understand one another.
