on the first evening of the hafler trio's steiner theatre event, very little could be seen. a white shape (cloth) seemed to be stretched and lit.

on the second evening, the theatre seemed darker, but more of the stage became light at distinct moments. the silhouette of a goose was visible several times. candles illuminated a tiny mirrored triptych, and a rear curtain was raised at the end of the evening, revealing a bizarre spinning mechanical creation.  

on the third evening, projections lit the stage and, eventually, the entire space. projections of hands waving. the biggest zoetrope/dreamachine ever seen was lit by torchlight. many had a peak inside, myself included. a very odd, hallucinatory creation.  

did i mention that sounds were heard also?
