Eight Objects (2022)
Music, scenography, and performance by Casey Moir
Texts by Gertrude Stein

A performance piece for pre-recorded texts and sounds, live performance and objects. Based on selected texts from Gertrude Stein's work Tender Buttons, in which she lists and elaborates on many different objects in cubistic literary fashion. Eight Objects explores the imagery, essence, associative nature, and connections sensed between objects and the words that express them, and the role of the performer (as object) in performance.

Selected Texts:
DIRT AND NOT COPPER.
NOTHING ELEGANT.
MILDRED'S UMBRELLA.
A METHOD OF A CLOAK.
A RED STAMP.
A SELTZER BOTTLE.
A LONG DRESS.
OBJECTS.
