In three urns side-by-side are encased two women and a man. The style is brilliantly abstract, ranging from choruses of existential oblivion to ruminations and reiterations of a common experience that ended unhappily for all. There is estrangement in the very method; no player directly communicates with another, and yet there is the semblance of confrontation and of action and reaction. Simply, it’s the story of man, his wife, and his mistress, and of the suspicions, discoveries, and desires of each as they become immured in their reciprocal experiences. And over all is the yearning for peace, for an end to it all.
