The title is taken from English psychologist Nicholas Humphrey’s book that explores the sensation created by the act of seeing the colour red. What’s involved in “seeing red”?

“Consciousness matters,” Humphrey concludes with a striking paradox, “because it is its function to matter. It has been designed to create in human beings a Self whose life is worth pursuing.” Deeply inspired by this paradox, the performance piece challenges the very act of seeing. Through exploring the act of “seeing red”, we challenge our consciousness with which we create a Self in us as a basis of human value that connects with other Selves.
