My name is Adam
and I'm a theatre maker
or
okay
I'm not actually gonna be talking to anyone here
Well I'm talking to you but there's no one actually here I'm talking to
the window
but it seems fitting for a project that is uh...
about a window
(adam laughs)
it's not really about a window.
There are lots of windows in it though
and I guess the main window in the piece is
is a window that is broken into, in my flat
which is in the room next door.
Which was actually broken into a couple of years ago
by an unknown person who -
yeah while I was away with my then girlfriend who is now by wife
they broke in and stole our wedding rings
which didn't seem too big a deal to be honest because
the wedding rings - we weren't married yet
so they hadn't acquired any sentimental value.
Although the real violation, felt like it came in this sort of
transgression of personal space
and I had returned from Prague on my own
where I'd been for a couple of weeks
and I remember this sort of distinct feeling that...
even though the sort of, the burglary itself was over
I had this feeling that there was still somebody there?
It was weird.
I mean there obviously wasn't
but I remember asking the police officer who attended like, you know
"do you think they'll be watching the flat?"
"do you think they're gonna come back?" you know
it just felt like the residue of this person,
albeit through the arrangement of personal objects
that had been scattered through the flat,
was still very much present, you know
and I had to keep everything like that
sort of, in chaos
for a number of, well, almost a day
while the forensics, you know, we waited for forensics to come back.
