Intercourse With

In this haunting performance Wilke conflates the private and the public as autobiographical theater The audience eavesdrops on a series of phone messages intended for Wilke recorded from her answering machine This voiceover litany of messages becomes an intimate if onesided narrative of Wilkes life a diary of personal and professional relationships family lovers friends colleagues that is oddly elegiac Wilke strips to reveal that her body is covered with the names of the individuals we have heard speaking she then methodically removes the names until all traces have disappeared
