In three films programmed in As You See, invitations and instructions are handed out like scores to parents, friends and dancers. The way they carry them out influences your perception and guides your gaze. An interplay is created between the director’s expectations and the reality ultimately constructed. The fourth film Drama short-circuits the biological physical conventions and presents a strange creature that is literally standing on its head.
