The short film “Strange Beast,” plays on the subjective perception of the audience. While the performer becomes the beast, one may wonder where the performer ends and where the beast begins. The performance is a kind of conversation between the actress and the audience and also an exploration of the participation of the audience in the perception/creation of this strange beast.
