A music-theatre piece for actor/percussionist, bass clarinet, double bass, and electronics. The work is based on a minor conspiracy theory comparing the lives of Lincoln and Kennedy, using real and fictional coincidences. It unfolds like a radio drama, with a custom interface controlling fragmented audio playback. The table used in performance serves both as a technological device and a source of sound and gesture. The score provides written material without a fixed timeline, requiring performers to reconstruct the structure through listening and reaction. The piece explores themes of obsession, isolation, and the blurred line between fact and fiction.
