House of No More is the third and final part of a conceptual trilogy of 'Real-Time Film' begun with the works Shelf Life and Flicker. In this last part, the performance starts with the reenactment of a crime experienced by "Julia", a woman who thrusts herself on screen in her quest for her missing child. But simultaneously as this thin premise unfolds, the performers develop an antithesis-- that the story is being faked as it is being created, that even as it is conjured, it is being dispelled. And yet, as Julia herself dissolves into this corrupt transmission, even as she herself becomes ghostly and multiplied across the reality of her life; what emerges is not a battle for the ownership of an absolute truth, but a thirst for a satiating lie.
