Consult the map, solve the clues and keep your eyes peeled as you embark on an utterly unique treasure hunt. COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN takes you on a tour of the streets where shop windows, TV screens and menus all tell the story of a love affair in pieces. Following the relationship of Sam and Sam COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN guides the audience around the young couple haunts and illuminates the countless ways in which people can miscommunicate. From awkward answer machine messages and misjudged texts to obscure emails and misread body language, all these tiny moments of misalignment are captured and can be discovered in each destination. Public telephones ring, audio tours take strange diversions and restaurant menus reveal the agony of a romantic dinner gone stale. Using a combination of soundtrack, short film, visual installation and performance COMMUNICATION BREAKOWN is an interactive experience that explores the importance of keeping communication alive. COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN is an intensely site specific piece that fully integrates the unique qualities of every city it visits and therefore requires a week of on site research and development prior to opening. COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN was commissioned by Stockton International Riverside Festival 2007 and Festival a/d Werf (Holland) 2008 with support from Getting On The Map.
