Instructions: 4.5 starsThe perfect warm-up act for Work.txt, Subject Object’s second Fringe offering, Instructions, is simpler in shape and scope, yet still enticingly ephemeral in its unhinging of reality. Each will, much as we are asked to in Work.txt, read their previously unseen lines – instructions, if you will – from a teleprompter, or listen to them via headphones. All the world is a stage, Shakespeare wisely has Jaques say in As You Like It, and the powers that be at Subject Object have our player repeat. Listen, rapt, to others’ Instructions, and/or choose to act, or not, in Work.txt. work.txt and Instructions are at Trades Hall, Melbourne, during Melbourne Fringe until October 12.
