The Interviewer comes back onto the stage.

INTERVIEWER
Thank you and welcome to HOW TO LOOK! Tonight I will be asking questions to our lovely audience. Please give us a big hand while I find a willing person.

The interviewer approaches the audience seats. She goes up the stairs to the back of the room, furthest away from the scene.

INTERVIEWER
Yes, you! What’s your name?

As Signe begins to answer, a young woman with a white shepherd dog on a leash comes out from the side curtains on stage left and crosses the stage in a slow pace. They exit stage right. Neither she nor the dog looks at the audience. Right after two persons carrying a large portrait of the artist in black and white mounted on a wooden frame follows. Then, a group of five persons in coats (as if they were coming directly from outside) carrying books cross the stage. The books are “Foucault. Dits et écrits II, 1976-1988” from the edition Quatro Gallimard, “William Shakespeare Oeuvres Complètes, bilingual edition from Robert Laffont, “August Strindberg Théâtre complet 3”, L’Arche, “Le Nouveau Petit Robert, Dictionnaire Alphabétique et Analogique de la langue française” and “La frustración Postcolonial by Salma Hayeck” by Liv Schulman. None of them pay any attention to the audience.

SIGNE
My name is Signe

INTERVIEWER
Signe, would you be willing to answer a question?

SIGNE
Yes (nervously)

INTERVIEWER
Do you identify yourself as an artist?

SIGNE
Yes… I am the artist… of this piece.
