A journey through jazz-colored words, Bard-born rhythm, and the art of becoming someone else.
In a world where every word has a shadow, this one begins on the stage of all stages — with Shakespeare, the original algorithm of the human heart. His quill becomes a mirror, his sonnets the circuitry of consciousness, still whispering in our memes and movies four centuries on — proof that great storytelling never really ages, it just changes costumes. Meanwhile, Ken Nordine’s “Ecru” paints the air with double-talking hues — a jazz-colored koan on truth and contradiction. And into this kaleidoscope two veteran actors step into the light: Garry Chalk and Ian James Corlett. Shape-shifters by trade, they slip between heroes, villains, robots, beasts, and the occasional Shakespearean spirit. Between the lines and the laughs, they reveal what it means to play, to pretend, and to keep believing in the voice behind the voice. Conovision: where the stage is never empty, and every story waits for its next line.
