How can a group of audience members start off as strangers and become friends?
Perfect Strangers is a site-responsive micro-performance which explores questions of human connection and friendship. Audience members who have never met are paired up for a walking journey through the neighbourhood. The pairs are guided through a series of questions and conversation topics which become increasingly intimate. Throughout the journey, they record moments of their experience on Post-It notes which are posted as they walk, animating the landscape with a miniature guerilla art-installation.
Perfect Strangers is a chance to have a face to face encounter with a perfect stranger who you may otherwise never meet.
