| Description |
"The Six Women stand behind a rope barrier, upon which hangs a sign reading 'Please Do Touch'. Their painted faces are contorted in silent cries of agony, amplified gestures of fury and despair send them into fits of shaking, their fingers distorted with tension. As audience members approach, the joy of the performers is exaggerated but nonetheless authentic, their incredibly expressive faces fill the room with ecstatic, childlike delight at the generosity of a stranger's touch. They never speak nor move off the spot, but at such close range their smiles are enormously infectious..." |
