A couple disintegrates in a café. A waiter, another couple,
and a lone woman bear witness. Rhythms, movements, and relationships
are all subtly or overtly shifted as those present incorporate and
transform the emotions facing them in the café. The witnesses
then bring these emotions out into the street, contaminating others.
As the story of the couple transforms from anguish to pleasure to
frustration to joy to hysteria, the couple is finally excluded from
the consequences of their own experience.
“an insightfully composed
piece about the effects of one couple's dysfunctional relationship
on the patrons of a cafe . . . seep generates moments of quiet genius.”
