“You might have noticed there are four of me. Don’t worry, you’ll get used to it. I have.”
Welcome to B’s mind. B’s got some memories he wants to share with you. He wants to tell you about how he ended up on a cruise ship, playing chess against the current world chess champion. He wants to tell you about his life and the choices he’s made. The problem? He’s been split into four and can’t remember what happened.
Accompanied by a live jazz percussive score, 64 Squares is a story about memory, free will and how the choices of our past define who we are in the present.
