I thought some of the performances were a bit stilted. Like they were doing a table read rather than bringing the script to life as such.

If you clap your hands really loudly next to their ears, it stuns the rabbit into submission, rendering a snare redundant

I tried to take a photo of a grasshopper on my windshield, but now it looks like a gigantic bug destroying the town.

'Everything circulates without resolving, pulling the listener into a swirling current. Persian Carpets is a fascinating piece which, like the best improvisation, creates a world we never asked for, but find we cannot do without'
