There’s a reason why games work, it’s because they have restrictions; a certain set of rules – not to live by, but just to get the ball rolling.
THEY’RE JUST JOKING is a contemporary work dealing with ideas of folly, mockery and the truths being humour and laughter; the duplicity of a foolish society and the honesty often submerged by comedy. How does our voice impact our perception of mockery? And what play do intentions have when it comes to unravelling the truth behind the self?
