A surreal musical conversation, unexpectedly in the bar, suddenly sitting next to you. Composer Mayke Nas and I collaborated for the insitu musical experience ‘AMONG US’, performed with musicians of the Royal Irish Academy of Music.

A performance of trumpets chattering amongst themselves, trombones mumbling at each other, saxophones seducing and a lonesome player in the bathroom.

The bar is filled with clouds of communication. Each visitor has his own role; theatre-addictive, eternal student, would-be or past lover, local fool, habitué, soaker, bachelor, seducer or wrong friend. Every encounter takes place in a well-known environment which is alienated, where ordering a drink, or seating oneself at a table is deprived of its commonplace, but nevertheless unexpectedly appealing.
