Description:

​

A woman, a bouquet of flowers, a room that is not a room of her own. Attempts at leaving, fleeing and receding; drifting somewhere, stumbling nowhere and lingering in between places.

​

She said she would buy the flowers herself is a performance about a blinding wish for (not) being seen.

​

“So will you please say Hello!
To the folks that I know
Tell them I won't be long
They'll be happy to know
That as you saw me go
I was singing this song”

​

(Vera Lynn: We'll Meet Again)
