The Presence Is Present

The Presence is Present investigates the tension between role and self. Eight cinematic miniatures present actors in a radically reduced setting — one performer, one camera, one scene. The camera becomes a resonant space. The performance confronts the self with the role, and presence becomes an event that reconstitutes itself anew in every moment of observation.
