Dangling Man

Joseph is bored. Maybe it’s him. Or maybe there’s just nothing to do. Disconnected from the world, he hangs about in his room. Waiting. Dangling. 

But then one night, a small hole appears in his ceiling and, beckoned by a voice, he climbs into the hole and into a hidden room. 

Hiding amongst the mess of objects and memories Joseph finds three figures. Each speaks a different language. Each introduces themselves as his neighbour. 

Put in a trance by these figures, Joseph is pulled out of the window, through time and memory, and on an adventure which might provide the key to Joseph’s his self-imposed imprisonment. 

This surreal visual poem explores the loneliness that lies just beyond our walls and the power of imagination and play in disconnected times.
