Performer (with contact microphone) works behind screen. Two mirrors are placed so audience can see image of performer reflected twice on either side of the blank screen in front. (Use distorting curved mirrors?)

On screen, word by word then line by line, project this text: All That Dead Image I In Imagination /All That Dead Image / Imagine / All That Dead Image I In Imagination / All Dead Image I Imagine. (Possibly project the Image between each.)

The performer performs these actions: turns back to mirrors & looks at audience in mirrors using a handmirror; eats with chopsticks; puts on hat: performs balances & contortions developed from shapes on the Image.

The performer speaks this text: Appearance does the damage - as if imagination were not gospel. Strip appearance of illusion and there is a stench of acid as the glamour of reflectivity drains from appearance, sign drains from experience and the fascination of the real unravels.

The chorus (invisible / on tape) speaks: words worse, enlarge, focus, wide waters withdrawn. mathematical interruption of light, in line and in lines. speckle, move imagination in duplicate, surrounded, speedlines gather, collide, like on node. sequenced

During the performance, two (or more) performers scrub off the reflective material from behind the mirrors so that the reflected image of the performer slowly degrades; their actions are stylised - they are starkly lit when visible. If the chorus is live, rather than on tape, they can also be revealed as the mirror images degrade.
