A story about a film about a journey to a room.

The performance is based on the cult classic film Stalker by Andrej Tarkovsky from 1979. The Zone itself is a large site believed at one time to have been visited by aliens and later a focus for scientists, opportunists and the curious. Strange phenomena occur there, and obscure objects are found, studied and even sold. The Zone is also an area where the normal laws of physics no longer apply. ‘The Room’ is said to grant the wishes of anyone who steps inside. Everyone has their own motive for entering the Zone. The problem is that these wishes might not be those consciously expressed, but the true unconscious ones.
