Seats-Within-Seats

Like rivers & rivulets: cuts are made down the amphitheater, through the existent seats of the amphitheater. The seats of the amphitheater are frontal, you’re sitting at a theater, you’re facing front, your attention is directed toward the stage & the performance below…But, once the frontal seats are intersected, the world has changed, there’s another way of looking at the world now, single focus is interrupted & the plot thickens: in the middle of seats facing front there are pockets of transversal seats, oppositional (or complemental) seats, face-to-face seats…
