I'M THINKING
OF YOU


I'M THINKING OF YOU lets you discover or rediscover the library as a place. As a participant, you are invited to follow instructions through headphones, and interact with the library environment in both expected and unexpected ways.
With a touch of magical realism, you will experience sneak choreography, censorship and get a glimpse of thousands of years of books’ history. You will be given the opportunity to perform secret acts of resistance and discover secret messages right in the middle of a public space. I
I’M THINKING OF YOU offers a playful opportunity to look at one of our most important public spaces with new eyes, and a chance to make the library your own.
I’M THINKING OF YOU is played as a school performance for 10-15 year olds, but is also suitable for adults.
The piece gives the audience an opportunity to have an artistic experience in the middle of everyday life. It will be available for individual lending for a five-year period at the various libraries participating in the project.
