Comments on the Finalist 

Embarking on a Drift to the Unknown combines monologue with carefully woven soundscapes to explore memories of matrilineal transoceanic migration through a theatrical design centered on the auditory experience. The performance emphasizes sonic resonances, spatial cues, and headphone listening, transforming sound into a symbolic system that captures the fluid flow of time and emotional shifts, producing both immediate situations and historical echoes. It turns the most subtle parts of personal memories into immediately perceivable signals. This approach, similar to an adaptive receiver, uses theatrical vocabulary built from sound to challenge reliance on representations of the visible in traditional theater, offering new perspectives for engaging with the work while redefining the idea of presence within the sensory experience.
