Score here
In demons possessed (laughing women), two costumed performers holding a plastic bag full of flowers between them walk backwards throughout the exhibition space, leading the audience in a parade of sorts. During their walk, the performers repeat a simple song for two voices, imitating the sounds of backing cars and laughing women. Throughout the repetitions, the performers have the freedom to play with the emotional scale, ranging from menacing to happy to sad, so that no two repetitions are the same. 
Performed by Amanda Payne and Sabine Pendry, and Íris Björk Gunnarsdóttir and Vera Hjördís Matsdóttir
