Sleepvoices speak from the resonance chambers of a tea service laid out on a table which is apparently hovering in the room. The assembled guests are absent. Spoken words are exchanged and overlap. These sounds, together with the clatter of crockery, make a backdrop of sound in an almost completely dark room. The reference points in the room have dissolved, the observer experiences disorientation in the darkness of inner and outer spaces.
