Speculation is a theatrical concert with an immersive visual design based on the experience of vision loss.  A monologue interweaved with live performances of Beethoven and John Cage tells a mother-daughter story of loss and listening.

In response to the pandemic lockdown, Speculation was transformed into a theatre-film hybrid with the option to call in to join Leslie Ting and fellow audience members in John Cage’s 4’33”.
