THE HEIST
The Heist (2018) is a fictional audio narrative that follows a 2-way radio conversation between partners-in-crime, Twelve and Fourteen. Fourteen is a female cat burglar, climbing a monolithic building for her latest mission; Twelve is male a hacker, surveying the scene from an opposing office building.
Fourteen is a self-aware character who acknowledges her position in a looped recording, of the presence of the audience and her relation to them, and of the boundaries constructing her reality. Twelve, on the other hand, is unaware of his position as a scripted character, and is reduced to experience his world behind a glass window.
The plot of The Heist leads one to contrast the difference between someone who is directly experiencing an event, to someone who is detached to the act of looking. Notions of being trapped in a repeated memory, the awareness of the self, and of breaking through the boundaries of ones own reality are discussed and suggested as the audience listen to the theatrical audio piece.
