SYNOPSIS
A businessman is waiting for a streetcar, with his back to an unhoused woman. The two silently judge each other. The man is annoyed at seeing someone who wants something for nothing, and the woman is feeling judged for a situation she has no control over. The two finally acknowledge each other, and we discover their shared experience.
MUSIC DESCRIPTION
Brisk piano sets up a fleeting interaction between two people on a busy street. In two solos that mimic and mirror one another, each reveals the assumptions they have made about the other—before joining together in a brief, more unified duet.
