The chair
What is required for this performance is the function of the body as a loud speaker. Therefore the chest has to be constantly open through lateral-septum breathing, so that the vocal cords would not be injured by the long hours exposion. The SJ performance's chair has technically its origins and reference to orthodox church seats. This chair was designed to keep my chest open the moments I realized that my physical powers were leaving me.
