In For a Long Time Now the audience encounters two figures who are confined in an audio-loop, perpetuated by a machine. The breaths, words and sounds they express are redefined in the loop. They have been stuck for so long that they do not see the difference between themselves and the technology they are serving. One of them wakes up. Assisted by the other, the machine responds.
