Modeled after Arabic and Persian call and response prayers. Each line should begin just before the previous one has ended – no space between call and response. First performed at the Cincinnati Contemporary Dance Theatre in 2003 with F. Keith Wahle and Roesing Ape. Second performance in 2007 at the Skull Lab in Cincinnati Ohio with Lacey Lane Montgomery, Julie Roessler and Roesing Ape.
