The show will be bookended by performances of The Witness, a text score written by composer Pauline Oliveros: The show will start will a version performed (with no audience) by the advanced laptop ensemble in Spring 2021 (documented by filmmaker Lee Dunn) and end with a live version performed by the laptop ensemble with film by PSU School of Film Experimental Production.
