Three actors with megaphones conduct a performance throughout the streets of Soho based on the poetry of Hanna Weiner. Beginning in the early 1970s and until her death in the late 1990s, Weiner wrote a series of journals that channeled schizophrenic episodes into developed poetic experiments with clairvoyant and automatic writing.

Two people on a city street in front of a graffitied brick wall. One faces the camera, holding a megaphone and a piece of paper at his sides. The other is walking, facing the side, and speaking into her megaphone and reading off a sheet of paper.
