In ARGOS, the movements of the audience control the action, in a reversal of the standard concert format where the performers’ body language is often scrutinised. At what point will the audience catch on that they’re provoking action? Will someone then take over or act unnaturally? What about the performer who’s listening beyond hope to the sounds outside the concert hall; will they play at all?
